  • How to stop my business trading with someone

    Hello,

    I have a question on preventing future trading with a particular business/person.

    I run a fairly well respected business and have quite a number of customers (in fact i'm pretty sure all my customers are happy). We provide a set of services and are often a subcontractor for other businesses and more often then not have direct contact with their customer.

    Simple overview : "Customer" > "Company X" > Us

    The "Customer" and I had a recent phone conversation where I've learnt that Company X is trating them like mud under the shoe. Not only that, Company X has crafted a contract for work with them to corner them for out-of-the-blue charges OR work won't be done for them. They have also put non-standard terms for work in a very odd contract and it appears like borderline extortion. Separate to that, Company X owes my business money.

    My ambition is to grow my business and hire people, but i feel sharing this particular problem with future team members isn't going to be productive, but I don't want my business(es) to work the person who owns it.

    Cutting to it, when most of the debts have been collected, I want to prevent my business(es) trading with ANY business where this person is actively involved in (at any level).

    I'm very annoyed by this person.

    Suggestions?

    You have the right to refuse to accept work from any person or entity. No reasons need be given. Just make sure that this is known to your staff. Do not mention to them or post anywhere any reasons or anything that may be libellous or slanderous. A simple statement that company X and its associated companies are not on the approved list of companies to trade with. When you have a new company wanting to be approved, then use due diligence to check that X is not involved with new company. If company X is several levels away then you will ned to make a decision about whether you will trade at that level.
