Extending credit isn’t the biggest risk. Extending unlimited credit is. Imagine a business setting up limits and not enforcing them…what does that accomplish?
Many businesses approve customers but never define how much exposure is acceptable. Over time, invoices stack up and one account quietly becomes a major portion of receivables. Then they realize the “approved” credit of $100k is now an open balance of over $500k. Big issues can happen here.
That’s where credit limits protect your business and should always be enforced and adjusted over time as needed. This could be up or down.
What credit limits actually do
Define the maximum exposure per customer
Prevent receivables from growing unchecked
Protect working capital when payments slow
Without limits, risk builds invisibly.
How disciplined businesses set limits
Base limits on customer payment history
Consider the size and stability of the customer
Align limits with your company’s cash tolerance
Review limits as customer behavior changes
Limits guide decision-making
When a customer approaches their limit, it signals the need to collect before extending additional credit.
This doesn’t damage relationships. It protects them. Clear boundaries make payment expectations predictable for both sides. March is about credit discipline. Credit limits are one of the most effective tools for protecting cash flow while continuing to grow.

How Jennifer Anniston’s LolaVie brand grew sales 40% with CTV ads
For its first CTV campaign, Jennifer Aniston’s DTC haircare brand LolaVie had a few non-negotiables. The campaign had to be simple. It had to demonstrate measurable impact. And it had to be full-funnel.
LolaVie used Roku Ads Manager to test and optimize creatives — reaching millions of potential customers at all stages of their purchase journeys. Roku Ads Manager helped the brand convey LolaVie’s playful voice while helping drive omnichannel sales across both ecommerce and retail touchpoints.
The campaign included an Action Ad overlay that let viewers shop directly from their TVs by clicking OK on their Roku remote. This guided them to the website to buy LolaVie products.
