Fast, affordable debt recovery for your business

Our debt recovery solicitors deliver straightforward, swift, and efficient solutions. We specialise in collecting undisputed invoice debts on an affordable, fixed-fee basis, ensuring you get results without hassle.

Before initiating proceedings, we conduct a Companies House or bankruptcy search to assess your debtor’s status, helping you decide if pursuing the case is worthwhile.

For businesses with multiple debts, we offer a consultation over the phone or an on-site visit to tailor our services to your needs.

Here’s how we assist you:

  • Conduct a conflict of interest check;
  • Verify your debtor’s status on Companies House for limited liability companies;
  • Calculate any contractual interest you may be entitled to claim from the due date of your invoice or statutory interest and compensation under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998;
  • Prepare and send a demand letter before action, outlining the payment due;
  • Confirm with you by email that a letter before action has been sent, setting out the amount demanded with interest and late payment compensation (if applicable);
  • Contact you after the time permitted for payment to check whether further action may be required.

If further action is required, we will take the subsequent steps on a fixed fee basis.

Alongside this service, we also offer guidance on other types of commercial debt recovery, general debt recovery advice, and assessments of your chances of recovering contested debts.
