UK B2B Commercial Debt Recovery

Recover unpaid business invoices on a genuine no win, no fee basis

HK Commercial Debt Recovery helps UK businesses recover overdue invoices and other business-to-business debts when internal chasing has failed.

Every case starts with a free recovery assessment. We review the evidence, debtor position and commercial prospects, then explain the recommended route before any action begins.

  • No recovery fee if no money is recovered
  • No setup or administration fee for routine recovery work
  • No formal legal escalation without your approval

Submitting details does not commit you to recovery action. We assess the case and explain the next step first.

Is your debt suitable?

We can assess your case if:

  • The money is owed to your business by another business
  • An invoice, account or contractual payment is overdue
  • Your own reminders have not secured payment
  • You have invoices, contracts, correspondence or other supporting evidence
  • You need a commercial view before spending more time or money

Our value proposition

Commercial debt recovery with interests aligned to yours

Our routine recovery service is structured around successful recovery rather than charging you simply for opening a file, sending letters or making contact attempts.

Genuine no win, no fee

No recovery, no payment

No setup or administration fees for routine recovery activity. If we do not recover money, you do not pay our recovery fee.

Free recovery assessment

We assess viability first

We review the debt, evidence, debtor status and realistic chance of recovery before recommending action.

Escalation roadmap

Clear route and timescales

You receive a clear explanation of the likely stages, options and timescale before stronger action is recommended.

Weekly case updates

No chasing for updates

We explain what has been done, what the debtor has said and what we plan to do next.

Free recovery assessment

Know whether recovery is worth pursuing before committing

Not every debt is commercially worth pursuing. If the prospects appear poor, we will be direct rather than encourage unnecessary action.

Recovery prospects

Is payment realistic?

We assess the debt age, debtor behaviour, dispute position, previous chasing and the strength of the available evidence.

Debtor position

Can the debtor pay?

We consider company status, trading activity, potential assets, signs of distress and available recovery opportunities.

Recommended route

What should happen next?

We explain whether negotiation, formal demand, court action, enforcement, insolvency action or no further action is most appropriate.

Up to £10,000Smaller overdue invoices
£10,001–£25,000Structured recovery matters
£25,001–£100,000Higher-value commercial debts
£100,000+Complex and strategic cases
Every case is assessed on recovery prospects, not just value.

A smaller debt with clear evidence and an active debtor may be more viable than a larger debt involving insolvency concerns, missing documents or a genuine dispute.

Escalation roadmap

What the debtor has said

Responses, disputes, payment proposals, promises to pay or lack of engagement.

What happens next

The next planned action and whether stronger recovery options are being considered.

Commercial debt recovery services for unpaid UK business debts

Each case follows a strategy based on the debtor, the evidence and the realistic chance of successful recovery.

Business debt recovery

Unpaid invoices and overdue accounts

Direct recovery action for unpaid business invoices and overdue commercial accounts, including debtor contact, settlement discussions and payment-plan negotiation.

Formal recovery action

Decision tools

Not sure which recovery route is appropriate?

Use our practical tools to understand whether the debt may be suitable for formal recovery, court action, enforcement or insolvency-related escalation.

Debt viability

Is this debt worth pursuing?

Check whether the debt appears commercially viable before committing time or money.

Recovery route

Which route should I use?

Compare negotiation, formal demand, court action, enforcement and insolvency-related options.

Interest and compensation

Can I recover more than the invoice?

Check whether statutory interest and fixed compensation may be recoverable.

Recovery timescale

How long could recovery take?

Build an indicative timeline based on the likely recovery stages.

Common questions

What clients usually want to know first

Will I pay anything if nothing is recovered?

No. Our general collections service is handled on a genuine no win, no fee basis. If we do not recover money, you do not pay our recovery fee.

Do you fund legal escalation?

Some formal steps may be funded on qualifying cases. We explain what is included, any conditions and any potential cost before you proceed.

Do you charge setup or administration fees?

No. Our routine recovery service is not based on charging for setup, administration or every individual recovery step.

What happens before action starts?

We assess the debt, available evidence, debtor position and likely recovery prospects before recommending the most suitable next step.

Will you start legal action without approval?

No. We explain the proposed route, likely timescale and any cost before formal action is taken.

How will I know what is happening?

You receive updates covering action taken, debtor communications and the next planned step.

Could recovery action damage the customer relationship?

Recovery is handled proportionately and professionally. We can begin with firm but commercially measured contact, while keeping stronger formal options under review rather than using them automatically.

What documents should I provide?

Useful evidence may include invoices, contracts or terms, purchase orders, statements, delivery records and correspondence. Submit what you have; we will identify any important gaps during the assessment.

How long could business debt recovery take?

Timescales depend on debtor engagement, disputes, court stages and enforcement. Use our business debt recovery timeline planner for an indicative guide.
