Is your unpaid business debt suitable for recovery?

We work exclusively on commercial debts owed by businesses. Use these criteria to decide whether to send the case for a free review.

Debt typeBusiness-to-business

The creditor and debtor are businesses and the balance arises from commercial trading.

Payment statusOverdue and unpaid

The invoice or account is due, and ordinary reminders have not secured payment.

EvidenceDocuments are available

Invoices, contracts, orders, statements, delivery records or correspondence support the claim.

ObjectiveRecovery, not activity

You want a realistic route based on prospects, cost, debtor status and commercial proportionality.

Core service

Commercial debt collection and negotiation

We pursue unpaid invoices and overdue account balances through structured telephone and written recovery activity. The aim is to establish contact, identify the reason for non-payment and secure payment without unnecessary escalation.

  • Telephone and written business debt collection
  • Director and decision-maker engagement
  • Settlement and payment-plan negotiation
  • Dispute identification and resolution support
  • Debtor tracing and investigations where appropriate
  • Recovery strategy based on the debtor and evidence
Escalation support

Formal recovery and enforcement routes

Where standard collections are insufficient, we can support an appropriate formal route. The recommendation depends on whether the debt is disputed, the debtor’s status, available evidence and the likely recovery benefit.

  • Final demands and Letters Before Action
  • Statutory demands
  • County Court claims
  • High Court enforcement referrals
  • Winding-up petition support
  • Solicitor instruction and case management
  • Insolvency claims and creditor support
Low-friction process

From unpaid invoice to a recommended recovery route

You provide the core debt information once. We review the case, explain the recommended route and keep you informed as recovery progresses.

1

Submit the debt

Provide debtor details, the amount owed and the key supporting documents.

2

Free assessment

We review evidence, dispute status, company position, distress indicators and recovery prospects.

3

Recovery begins

Approved cases move into structured collection, negotiation and debtor engagement.

4

Escalate if justified

Formal action is recommended only where it is proportionate and separately authorised.

Clear commercial terms

Genuine no win, no fee business debt recovery

General collection activity is structured around money recovered, rather than setup charges or routine activity fees.

No setup fee

There is no fee simply to submit a debt or request an initial recovery assessment.

No recovery, no collection fee

General collections are conducted on a genuine no win, no fee basis under the agreed case terms.

Escalation agreed first

Any external court, solicitor, insolvency or enforcement cost is explained and authorised separately before it is incurred.

Funded escalation may be available on qualifying cases. Letters Before Action, Statutory Demands, County Court claims and enforcement may be funded in suitable matters. Availability depends on the debt, evidence, debtor status and recovery prospects.
Case assessment

Debt value matters, but recovery prospects matter more

We assess debts of different values based on documentation, dispute position, debtor activity, solvency indicators and the practical opportunity to recover payment.

Overdue invoices

Single or multiple unpaid invoices where reminders and internal chasing have not produced payment.

High-value commercial debts

Significant balances that require structured strategy, senior engagement and controlled escalation.

Complex account balances

Cases involving payment plans, partial disputes, multiple invoices, contract issues or insolvency concerns.

A smaller well-documented debt may be more recoverable than a larger disputed or insolvent balance. The free assessment is designed to identify that distinction before further action is taken.
