Answering the most frequently asked questions about debt collection
Below, we’ve collated a list of some of the most frequently asked questions regarding B2B debt collection, as well as links to blogs where you can find out even more.
While there is no definitive answer, you can introduce a debt collection agency as soon as an invoice is overdue. It is a good idea to limit the number of invoices that are unpaid for 90 days, to avoid cash flow issues.
Or, if your resources are limited and a non-payer has gone AWOL, you could consider instructing a debt collection agency to trace and investigate at this point instead. It could even be when multiple customers start failing to pay.

Consumer debt collection involves retrieving unpaid amounts from agreements between a company and an individual, covering rent, bills, contractor fees, or personal loans.
In contrast, commercial debt collection addresses unpaid invoices between two businesses, often tied to contractual disputes or non-payment for goods or services.
Commercial debt collection requires a profound understanding of legal proceedings and business contracts, emphasising the importance of maintaining positive commercial relationships.
