What is Debt Sale?

Debt Sale is a form of asset sale. Over the last 20 years it has become an increasingly popular strategy for a whole range of organizations wanting to improve cashflow and reduce balance sheet liabilities. It has become an integrated part of the credit management lifecycle cycle for almost all major UK businesses that provide credit as part of their business. A debt sale can take the shape of a one off sale, or a more regular arrangement; it is a flexible process mutually agreed between seller and purchaser.
