Dealing with Slow-Paying Customers

Dealing with slow-paying customers can be a major headache for business owners. Slow-paying customers affect your cash flow and distract you from important matters. And if you have too many slow-paying customers, your business could encounter problems and risk missing critical payments for suppliers or payroll.

This leads us to the question – what is the best way to deal with slow-paying customers? The best solution, of course, is to prevent them from becoming slow-paying customers in the first place by:

Explanation:
A explicação dos colegas é ótima. Mas olhando a quantidade de vezes que a palavra é repetida, e isso apenas no trecho que o autor da pergunta enviou, o texto vai ficar muito esquisito.

"Dealing with Slow-Paying Customers

"Dealing with slow-paying customers can be a major headache for business owners. Slow-paying customers affect your cash flow and distract you from important matters. And if you have too many slow-paying customers, your business could encounter problems and risk missing critical payments for suppliers or payroll.

"This leads us to the question – what is the best way to deal with slow-paying customers? The best solution, of course, is to prevent them from becoming slow-paying customers in the first place by:"


Eu adaptaria, faria uma mistura inteligente dos termos, para diminuir ou esconder o excesso de repetições.


A sensação que tenho é que o autor do texto estava bastante irritado com os "slow-paying customers"... Rsrs

agree  Oliver Simões: O termo repete-se várias vezes no texto; sendo assim, penso que quanto mais curta a tradução, melhor. Neste caso, o que a colega sugere para as repetições?
1 hr
  -> Contornar o texto, para evitar tanta repetição, ou utilizar por exemplo, "maus pagadores" em PT-PT, ou "clientes mal-pagadores" conforme sugerido pela colega Teresa Félix de Sousa.

Atenção: correção - MAUS pagadores. Maus - adjetivo, antônimo de BONS.
