This glossary explains common terms used in business-to-business collections and how they apply in California.

A legal claim against property to secure payment of a debt, used in appropriate enforcement actions.
Businesses may choose from options such as direct negotiation, hiring a collections attorney, or pursuing litigation. We help you weigh cost, timeline, and impact on relationships.
For smaller debts with minimal disputes, a targeted demand letter and direct negotiation can yield a timely settlement without formal litigation.
