FAQs

  • How can a business debt collection agency improve my cash flow?

    Our business debt collection agency helps you recover overdue invoices and unpaid debts that may be affecting your day-to-day operations. By taking swift and strategic action, we help release the money owed to you, which improves your cash flow and restores financial stability.


    Many businesses rely on us to handle commercial debts they are struggling to collect internally. Whether it’s a one-off business debt or several outstanding invoices, our debt collection process ensures quicker payments and reduced pressure on your credit control team.

  • Do you handle commercial debts of all sizes?

    Yes, we recover business debt of all sizes for sole traders, SMEs and large corporations. Whether it's a single unpaid invoice or a series of outstanding balances, we apply the same professional service to every case.


    We don’t limit our debt recovery work by value or volume. Our collection agency is built to support clients with a flexible approach to commercial debt recovery, customised to the business and sector involved.

  • What’s the process for commercial debt recovery with your agency?

    Once you instruct us, our debt collection process begins with immediate contact with the debtor. We issue reminders, request payment, and track all communications to recover the outstanding debt professionally and efficiently.


    If a debtor fails to cooperate, we may advise legal action under UK law. Where appropriate, we can issue legal proceedings to recover the total amount owed, including late payment fees, collection costs, and other legal costs if applicable.

  • Will I get all the money back after collection?

    Under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Legislation, the debtor pays our fee in most cases. This allows your business to recover all the money you’re owed, without deduction, provided the debt qualifies for statutory charges.


    This is a risk free process with no hidden fees. We only charge a commission if we recover the money, and we’re fully transparent about any additional costs involved should court proceedings be necessary.

  • Are there any collection costs if the debt isn’t recovered?

    No. Our business debt collection service operates on a no collection, no fee model. If we don’t recover the debt, you don’t pay anything. It’s a simple, risk free way to pursue debts without affecting your cash flow.


    Any potential legal costs would be discussed in advance if the case moves to legal proceedings. We never surprise our clients with hidden costs or unexpected charges during the debt recovery process.

  • Can you support our internal credit control processes?

    Yes, we work closely with many businesses to improve their credit control efforts. Our debt collectors step in when in-house processes have been exhausted, helping to recover the money owed without damaging business relationships.


    Our commercial debt recovery solutions act as an extension of your accounts team. With 24/7 client reporting, our clients always have visibility into each account and the payments being pursued. This ensures a professional service that supports your business goals.
