I’ve heard it before….. • They have never stuck us yet • The check is in the mail • They want to pay us but their system is down • I know the guy, he has an airplane and a yacht • I had money in the account, the bank just messed up • THEY ARE TOO BIG TO FAIL

Where to Look… • Customer Financial Statements • Commercial Credit Reporting Agencies • SEC (Public Companies or Public Debt) • On line news and finance web sites • Industry groups/Other Vendors • Rating Agencies • Sales Team • Analyst’s Report/Earnings Call
What to Look for • Key personnel changes • Decisions made by “consultant” • Timing of financing expiration • Change in payment behavior • Request for longer terms • Increase in credit references • Failure to provide financials • Bond default • Deterioration in cash flow/margins/capex investment
