4 Pre-Litigation Collection Strategies

When a customer misses payments, it can be a top concern for your business’s profitability. If you need to collect and recover debt, you should explore all resolutions before it escalates to a litigation case. 

You will want to start by identifying the risks and determining if your situation will be successful. For example, what is the debtor’s financial situation? What are their business assets? Sometimes, you can settle disputes before taking them to the courtroom, and therefore, you could save time and litigation costs.

4 Types of Business Bankruptcy (and How to Restructure)

As a business owner, there are very few things more unsettling to consider than shutting down your business or filing bankruptcy. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) finds that 20% of new businesses fail during the first two years, 45% during the first five, and 65% during the first 10. Only 25% of new businesses make it to 15 years or older.
