To protect your cash flow you need to ensure that your business can collect bad debt.
This is a common area of business activity and there is a well established legal process for debt collection for businesses.
We work closely with credit management and collections agencies, enquiry agents, barristers and high court enforcement officers to ensure the best chance of recovering overdue invoices.
We offer fixed fees or can agree fees based on a % of monies collected (damages based agreements/DBAs) or on a conditional no-win, no fee basis (conditional fee agreements/CFAs). We will discuss payment options on a case by case basis. There will be no hidden fees or surprises, our fees will be fully discussed and agreed with you up front.
