Business-to-business collections involve pursuing payment for goods or services provided to another business, typically after a sale, with a focus on lawful methods, documented evidence, and timely communication.
Key steps include verifying invoices, sending a formal demand letter, negotiating terms or settlements, pursuing mediation if needed, and, when appropriate, pursuing court action to obtain a judgment and collect.
This glossary explains common terms used in business-to-business collections to help you navigate the process.
A formal written notice requesting payment within a specified timeframe before further action is taken.
