Accounts receivable collections involve pursuing payment on outstanding invoices through polite demand letters, structured negotiation, and, if necessary, court actions to enforce a valid debt.

Funds that a business is owed by customers for goods or services that have been delivered but not yet paid for.
A formal written request for payment sent to a debtor outlining the amount due and possible next steps.
A court order determining the amount owed, which can enable collection actions.
A negotiated agreement to resolve a debt, potentially including a payment plan or reduced lump-sum payment.
