Face your fears in business credit law

One of the most important yet sometimes scary aspects of B2B credit management is business and credit law. Petrifying scenarios, like major clients filing for bankruptcy, can leave even the most seasoned credit professionals frozen in terror. By earning the Certified Business Fellow (CBF) designation through NACM’s six-level Professional Certification Program, credit professionals can stand fearless in the face of business and credit law. 

“Earning my CBF was important for both me and my company because it enabled me to perform my job to the fullest,” said Michelle Ochetti, CBF, director of credit and finance at Ziegler Inc. (Minneapolis, MN). “I learned that law is subjective, and what starts in one direction can look completely different by the end. Reviewing past verdicts, I realized that many laws are shaped by prior cases, so it’s essential to consider that as well.”

The course provided Ochetti with the essential tools for navigating business and credit law. “I often refer back to the course book and reach out to our attorney when I have questions, but at least now I have a clearer sense of direction,” she said.

💡Study Tip: “Make sure you set aside enough time to thoroughly go over the material,” said Ochetti.
