When the immediate pressure eases, it is tempting to exhale and carry on exactly as before. The companies that emerge stronger use the moment differently: they turn what they learned under pressure into a deliberate plan, so the next shock finds them better prepared.
What a good recovery plan covers
- The cause: an honest look at what actually drove the difficulty, not just the symptoms.
- The reserve: a target buffer of cash to rebuild, and how you will fund it month by month.
- The numbers you watch: a short set of indicators reviewed regularly so warning signs surface early.
- The commitments: a realistic schedule for clearing what built up, in a sensible order.
Pace the recovery
Rebuilding too aggressively can recreate the strain you just escaped. Set a pace the business can sustain, protect the reserve as you grow, and keep the habits, such as a rolling cashflow forecast, that helped you through. Recovery is a phase to manage, not a finish line to sprint for.
If clearing arrears or rebuilding around a Credicorp Flex or Credicorp Slice facility is part of your plan, involve us in it. A repayment schedule that fits your recovery, agreed openly, is far more likely to succeed than one that pushes the business back toward the pressure it just survived.
