We tailor steps to your business and the age of the receivable, ranging from initial notices to court actions if needed.
Accounts receivable refer to money owed to your business by customers. Collections are the formal processes used to obtain payment, including written demand letters, negotiation, settlement, and, when necessary, judicial remedies.
Initial contact and documented demands, assessment of defenses, negotiation of payment plans, and escalation to enforcement procedures when appropriate, always aligning with state and local laws.
Key terms used in the accounts receivable process and simple explanations.
