What is a Commercial Collection Agency?

To understand what a commercial collection agency is, it’s important to first understand how it differs from a consumer debt collection agency. The latter type of agency focuses on collecting debts owed by individual consumers who have applied for, and gained approval for various types of loans and credit accounts, including mortgages, auto loans, signature loans, credit cards, individual lines of credit, etc. Commercial collection agencies, conversely, handle the collection of business debt obligations owed to their client businesses; Hence “B2B”, or “Business-to-Business” collections.

How Do Commercial Collection Agencies Work?

Many B2B companies wisely engage the services of a proven-successful commercial collection agency to act on their behalf when their business customers reach a predetermined stage of payment delinquency. Top-performing commercial collection agencies are highly skilled and have extensive resources designed to support and motivate leveraged payment negotiations for their clients, typically on a strictly pay-for-performance only basis. The average rate of collection success achieved by Miller, Ross & Goldman is more-than double that achieved by clients without their expert support and typically 30-50% better than competing collection firms. Why? It all comes down to consistent, long-term experience, available resources and practical expertise.

How Does My Company Choose a Commercial Collection Agency?

First, it’s important that any commercial collections vendor under consideration has full legal authority to work on your company’s behalf in the states needed. Many states require specific licensing and/or bonding compliance, which you can review here.
