## What it means for a shop owner

It stops one customer's debt from growing so large that it threatens you if he pays late. Set it by his history and how regularly he pays, and raise it step by step for those who keep their word. Once he reaches it, ask for payment before any new sale.

## A worked example

You set a limit of 500 for a customer who now owes 450. Any new credit sale above 50 passes the limit, so he pays the extra or settles part first.
