Business suppliers, vendors, distributors and manufacturers typically have their own industry jargon. There's an expectation among those who "speak the language" that in a business relationship, you'll have a solid comprehension of how that industry works.  Debt collections is no different. Businesses seeking to recover past due accounts receivables will search for debt collection agencies they can trust, who comprehend their industry specifics and who also speak their language. 

Industry-focused commercial debt collections offers an engaged collections and recovery strategy. Here's how.

Collection Industry Experience

Enterprise Recovery began as an expansion of our debt collections services under the umbrella of BYL Companies. By creating a company that is focused solely on corporate and commercial debt collections, Enterprise Recovery dedicates resources to work with clients specifically in the business-to-business (B2B) space. Previous to Enterprise Recovery, we've handled accounts receivable for 20 years in consumer and commercial industries. An expanded interest and requests from corporate clients created a need for a committed focus on B2B debt collections.

Benefits of Industry-Focused Collections

Corporate industries differ from consumer industries in many ways including the sales process, the decision-makers, the length of the transactions and relationship, the billing process and most importantly, the collections process. Corporate collections is also regulated differently than consumer collections. In order to protect the rights of the business that requests collections, a collections agency must be well-versed in compliance and other challenges that may prohibit certain tactics.  A corporate collections agency must also tread carefully when collecting to preserve the business relationship between the creditor and the debtor.
