Collection Services
Approximately one third (33%) of U.S. small business owners estimate their company currently has more than $20,000 in outstanding receivables, and the average U.S. small business has $53,399 in outstanding receivables. Debt collectors usually charge from 25%-50% of the debt they are collecting. They also can leave a bad impression with clients whose accounts are behind because debt collectors are less likely to work out a settlement that may get you faster payment because their fee structures incentivize litigation.
WHY LAWYERS ARE BETTER FOR DEBT COLLECTION:
Touch/Professionalism
Lawyers are bound by strict ethical codes and expectations of professionalism. They are more likely to represent the brand and reputation of your business than a call center collections employee or a collections firm.
Streamlined Approach: Call, Demand Letter, File, Collect
A quick call or letter from an attorney generally incentivizes action, and when it doesn’t, it is often time to resort to court filings. Attorneys can consult you at each stage making it an efficient and effective process. We will also take the time to sit down and understand which Clients need to be pushed and which Clients needs to be coddled.
Less Expensive
Surprisingly, attorneys are usually less expensive than collection firms. No hidden fees, no surprise charges and no contingency percentages. One flat fee, whether we go to court or not!
