Business-to-business (B2B) collections involve pursuing unpaid amounts owed by another business, rather than individual consumers, and often require contract interpretation, corporate notice requirements, and enforcement options under commercial law.
Key steps include verification of accounts, sending demand letters, negotiating settlements, and, if needed, filing lawsuits or pursuing arbitration while protecting trade secrets and confidences.
A concise glossary helps you understand common terms used in commercial collections and the enforcement process.
Amounts owed to your business by other companies for goods delivered or services performed.
A formal notice requesting payment by a specific date, often the first step in collections.

Legal actions, such as lawsuits or judgments, used to collect on a debt.
