Business-to-business collections involve pursuing payment on commercial invoices, purchase orders, and other balances between companies, using a structured process that respects contracts and applicable laws.
Key elements include contract review, formal demand communications, negotiation, documentation for potential enforcement, and options for mediation or litigation if needed.
