Creditor Schedule Preparation

A creditor can be represented by a state-owned or private company or an individual that provides credit to a company. Such credits are registered in the balance sheet under liabilities. There are two categories of creditors: secured and unsecured. A secured creditor is an individual or an entity that has a claim against the debtor’s assets – a mortgage, pledge, charge, lien on the property. An unsecured creditor is a person or company that doesn’t have a direct claim against the debtor. There are three types of unsecured creditors: preferred, deferred and ordinary.
