What this service is

Debt collection support is a structured, business-first service to recover unpaid invoices and commercial debts while protecting your brand, preserving evidence, and keeping escalation options open. We focus on pre-litigation collection workflows and documentation packages that improve payment outcomes and make escalation credible when needed.

This service is designed to deliver:

• a controlled collections workflow (not ad-hoc chasing)

• demand letters and follow-up sequences aligned to evidence and remedies

• a clean debt file (contract basis + invoice ledger + delivery/acceptance proof)

• settlement structures (payment plans) that are enforceable and operationally safe

• escalation readiness with local counsel partners if filings become necessary

Who this is for

This service is a fit if you are:

• a B2B business with unpaid invoices (services, SaaS, goods, contractors)

• dealing with customers who dispute scope, acceptance, or performance as a delay tactic

• carrying old receivables and want a structured recovery push

• a company with multiple delinquent accounts and no consistent process

• a business that wants to avoid court but still recover efficiently

• an international company collecting from US counterparties and needing US-ready posture

What “debt collection support” means in practice

Commercial debt recovery is usually won or lost on documentation quality and communication discipline.

1) Debt classification and collectability check (basic)

We confirm:

• who owes the money (correct legal entity and signatory posture)

• what documents create the obligation (MSA/SOW, order forms, PO, emails)

• whether delivery/acceptance is provable

• aging, partial payments, credits, offsets, and dispute posture

• whether there are contractual fee/interest provisions (if applicable)

Key principle: the best outcome is not “pressing harder.” The best outcome is pressing correctly with proof and a credible escalation path.

2) Evidence and ledger pack (the “collection file”)

We build a clean file that supports recovery:

• invoice ledger and aging summary

• contract term mapping (payment triggers, late fees, suspension rights)

• delivery and acceptance evidence (handover emails, logs, approvals)

• communications timeline (promises to pay, admissions, dispute claims)

• debtor profile notes (contacts, payment patterns, leverage points)

3) Demand and follow-up workflow

We structure communications:

• first formal demand (firm, evidence-based, deadline-driven)

• escalation letter (final notice posture)

• settlement proposal options (lump sum vs payment plan)

• controlled phone/email script guidance (what to say / what not to say)

4) Settlement and payment plan design

When a debtor can’t pay in full, we structure enforceable terms:

• payment schedule with due dates and default triggers

• acceleration clause on missed payment

• clear consequences and remedy posture

• releases (when appropriate) tied to actual payment completion

• operational steps (service suspension, access withdrawal, deliverable conditions)

5) Escalation readiness (with local counsel partners)

If voluntary recovery fails, we prepare:

• escalation-ready pack for local counsel filings

• evidence and exhibit organisation to reduce external counsel cost

• ongoing settlement posture during escalation

Typical debts we support

• unpaid service invoices (consulting, marketing, dev, operations)

• unpaid SaaS subscriptions and implementation fees (B2B)

• unpaid contractor/vendor invoices (where you are the creditor)

• disputed final invoices after termination

• delinquent retainers and milestone payments

• multi-invoice accounts with recurring late payments

Benefits of structured debt collection

• Higher recovery rate: stronger proof + better messaging discipline

• Faster payment: deadlines and credible escalation posture drive action

• Lower internal time cost: repeatable workflow and templates

• Reduced dispute leakage: acceptance and scope evidence reduces “stalling”

• Brand protection: firm but controlled approach (no chaotic chasing)

• Escalation efficiency: litigation-ready file reduces external costs

Typical premium pricing

Pricing depends on number of debts, documentation quality, and whether multi-round follow-up is required.

• Single debt collection pack (ledger + demand + follow-up plan): $2,500–$9,500+

• Full pre-litigation collection package (evidence pack + letters + settlement plan): $7,500–$25,000+

• Multi-account collections program (5–25 accounts): $12,500–$65,000+

• Ongoing collections management (monthly): $7,500–$35,000+ / month

Court filings and formal litigation representation are handled by local counsel partners under separate engagement terms.

Frequently asked questions

1. Do we need a demand letter for every delinquent invoice?
   Not always, but a structured demand dramatically improves outcomes, especially for older debts or debtors who are “stalling.”

2. What’s the biggest mistake in collecting B2B debts?
   Chasing without evidence discipline. If you cannot prove delivery/acceptance, debtors exploit ambiguity.

3. Can we charge interest or late fees?
   Only if the contract allows it or if your jurisdiction and terms support it. We map your contract posture and apply what is defensible.

4. Should we offer a payment plan?
   Often yes, but only with default triggers and acceleration so the plan is enforceable and not an endless delay tactic.

5. What if the debtor claims the work was defective?
   We map the acceptance and defect notice posture, identify what is provable, and adjust strategy—often focusing on settlement leverage.

6. Can you collect from a company in another state?
   Yes at documentation and strategy level. If filings are needed, we coordinate partner counsel in the relevant venue.

7. Will this damage customer relationships?
   A controlled, professional process is usually less damaging than chaotic chasing. We keep tone firm and businesslike.

8. What do you need from us to start?
   Contracts/SOWs, invoices, payment history, delivery/acceptance proof, and the key communication thread.
