Debt recovery

Sustaining a business without regular cashflow is not possible and a business that has not been paid for goods or services delivered is at a significant disadvantage. Businesses need a practical, commercial approach to debt recovery that minimises further loss and provides quick, effective solutions so owners and staff can get back to doing what makes their business great.

To identify the most suitable process to recover a debt and avoid throwing good money after bad, an informed decision must be made, which will usually take into consideration:

• the correct identity and nature of the debtor – whether an individual, partnership, company
• the amount owed and how long it has been outstanding
• whether the debt is disputed and, if so, the reason claimed for non-payment
• the solvency of the debtor and the likelihood of the debtor being able to satisfy a judgement in favour of the creditor
• whether there is industry-specific legislation relevant to pursuing the debt
• What contractual arrangement have you made with the debtor and do you have the ABN and correct corporate details

We will assess your circumstances and provide strategic debt recovery advice suited to your situation, whether that be by an initial letter of demand, the issue of a statutory demand under the Corporations Act 2001, negotiating with the debt and entering into an agreement to pay by instalments, or through court proceedings.
