How To Deal With Dot Com Debt
from the *now*-they-tell-us? dept
CFO.com has a nice little article that explains to companies how they should deal with dot com debt. That's money owed to your company from a dot com - who might not pay. They have a few examples of how different companies with lots of dot com customers judged the credit risk from those dot coms. Not surprisingly, the standards have become more stringent - but the fact is that credit-worthiness of dot coms is still judged differently than more established companies. Though, I do still like the plan of some companies which forces questionable dot coms to pay up front. That's the best credit policy I can think of.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
