THE COST OF WAITING

The Longer Payment Waits,
the More Your Business Carries.

You delivered the work. You paid your people. Your customer still hasn’t paid you. That unpaid balance ties up working capital while your team spends more time chasing payment.

01

Working Capital Tied Up

Money earned on completed work stays unavailable for payroll, suppliers, and your next project.

02

Time You Cannot Get Back

Repeated calls and missed payment dates pull your team away from customers and operations.

03

More Uncertainty Ahead

Another promise can buy the customer more time without bringing your business any closer to payment.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Questions About
Commercial Collections?

A few clear answers before you decide your next step.

How do your collection fees work?

Our collection services are contingency-based: you pay a collection fee when we recover funds. We discuss the proposed rate and any separately authorized services before you place an account.

How old can an account be?

We review both recent and older past-due accounts. Account age, documentation, debtor circumstances, and applicable time limits affect the available options, so share the account history during your review.

Can you review a disputed invoice?

Yes. Send the invoice, relevant agreements, and correspondence explaining the dispute. We review the supporting records and discuss whether professional negotiation or another recovery approach may be appropriate.

What documentation should I provide?

Start with invoices, the outstanding balance, debtor contact details, and payment history. Contracts, purchase orders, delivery records, and correspondence can help us understand the claim.

Do you handle accounts outside Texas?

We review commercial accounts across the United States. Available services depend on the account and jurisdiction; explore our locations pages or contact us to discuss your claim.
