Business-to-business collections involves pursuing payment of legitimate debts between commercial entities through letters, negotiations, and, if required, legal remedies, while aiming to minimize disruption to ongoing business.
Core steps typically include verifying the debt, issuing a formal demand, tracking communications, negotiating settlements, and filing appropriate legal actions when necessary.
Below is a glossary of terms commonly used in business-to-business collections to help you navigate the process.
A formal written request for payment that states the amount owed and a deadline to respond.
An agreement to resolve the debt, often involving a payment plan or reduced amount.
A court order confirming the debt and enabling enforcement.
Actions to collect once a judgment is obtained, including wage garnishment or asset levies, where permitted.
Options include demand letters, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation. Each has different costs, timelines, and likelihood of success.
If the claim is straightforward and the amount is small, a targeted demand and settlement may achieve prompt resolution.
In cases with solid documentation, simpler steps can avoid court costs and delays.
