If you’re looking to collect money, Debtor Inspector offers support services that act as an alternative to a collection agency.

Most collection agencies operate like a sales organization where account managers get paid a commission on the accounts they collect on.

Depending on the agency, this may or may not benefit the client.

This is because account managers are incentivized to go after the “low-hanging fruit” (i.e. accounts that are easy to collect on) so that they can collect their commissions faster. This prioritization in collections is known as “Creaming”. If a collection agency operates in this matter, it may mean that your larger or more complex cases may get neglected.

For this reason, Debtor Inspector’s outsourced Account Receivable Services does not operate on a commission basis.

If you’re interested in using Debtor Inspector as an AR extension of your business or to supplement your current AR team’s efforts, please contact us to learn more about the different ways we can assist you.
