Business-to-business collections involve pursuing payment from one business to another under contractual terms, using careful, compliant procedures.
Key steps include reviewing the contract, issuing a formal demand letter, documenting all communications, evaluating remedies available under the contract, and choosing an appropriate path to recovery.
This glossary explains common terms used in business-to-business debt collection, such as demand letters, suits, judgments, and post-judgment remedies.
