That’s mine! Retention of Title to upaid goods/materials
With 4,000 companies going into compulsory or creditors’ voluntary liquidation in the second quarter of 2010, the biggest threat to the livelihood of the SME can still be considered to be bad debt. A sub-contractor business, which relies on a small number of large contracts for its livelihood, is highly vulnerable to crippling loss when a main contractor goes into liquidation. Careful management of cashflow is essential to make sure that exposure to this is kept to a minimum. Subcontractors can find that they have paid for and fitted expensive goods to the end user’s building for which they have no chance of getting paid.
