Having trouble collecting your accounts receivable? You aren't alone, many business struggle collecting aged debts from other businesses. Collection companies work with your business to collect money owed from other businesses. If your business has over 10% to 15% accounts receivable older than 90 days, you should look for the assistance of collection agencies to collect this outstanding credit.
Hiring the assistance of a collection agency to collect outstanding debts doesn't have to tarnish your relationship with your debtors. If your business is still working with a debtor, hiring a first party agency to collect your debts will help maintain continuity with your business. If you have no regard for doing business with your debtors you may opt for the more aggressive third party agency who work off commission on the debts collected. Aged debts are harder to collect as time goes on so the sooner you enlist the services of collection companies the sooner you will be profiting.
