The company default landscape in Australia has experienced a significant shift, with March 2024 witnessing a record number of insolvencies. According to recent data from ASIC, this surge underscores the increasing financial distress among businesses and individuals alike.

When comparing our NCI Claims data with ASIC insolvencies, we observe a significant increase in both. This graph highlights the strong correlation between these two elements. The reasons behind this spike are multifaceted, including lingering economic impacts from global events, rising interest rates, and the increasing cost of living. Which is likely to continue for the remainder of 2024.

So, what does this mean for you?

1. Credit assessment and opening new accounts or increasing existing client credit levels requires further scrutiny!
2. Be vigilant in keeping to your processes when accounts become overdue and implement appropriate collection activities.
3. Consider seeking additional security, or at minimum, ensure you register your security interests (over goods provided) on the PPSR.

As companies and individuals grapple with these financial challenges, the role of effective debt collection becomes paramount. At NCI, we understand the critical importance of managing and recovering debts efficiently. Our specialised services are designed to alleviate the burden of unpaid debts, allowing businesses to maintain cash flow and focus on their core operations.
