To give you a peak behind the curtain of this news page, I keep an eye out as I watch the news for stories that might be relevant to Credit Managers or those that sell on credit. I then make a note of them and when I have time spare in my actives as Operations Director for CPA, I turn them into posts for the benefit of our members and site visitors.

The problem has been over the first few weeks of January I have been quite busy with the day job so a few stories have piled up that I haven't had time to turn into posts but really I would like to share. So here you go. This is a collection of news stories I have seen that I think will be of interest to SME's and those that sell on credit.
