Overview
What is Credit Control?
Credit control outsourcing involves delegating debtor management — invoice chasing, payment plan negotiation, aged debt reporting, and escalation workflows — to trained finance professionals. Treba provides credit controllers in Nairobi who work inside your accounting system and follow your collection procedures, reducing your DSO without damaging client relationships.

The challenge
Why UK companies struggle with credit control.
Late payments cost UK businesses £22 billion a year, and the problem is structural — your finance team is too busy with month-end to chase invoices consistently. When credit control slips, cash flow suffers, bad debt provisions grow, and your FD spends board meetings explaining write-offs instead of strategy. Hiring a dedicated credit controller in London costs £29,000 before overheads, and the role is notoriously high-turnover.
