Executive Alert: Is Your Revenue Stuck in a Logistics Bottleneck?
Chattanooga is the “Gig City,” defined by the fastest internet in the nation and a massive logistics corridor. From the Volkswagen assembly lines to the heavy freight traffic moving through the I-24/I-75 split, business here moves at high velocity. However, many local firms are struggling with a slow-motion problem: Aged Receivables.
In a city that prides itself on the “Tennessee Volunteer” spirit, many owners wait too long to act on unpaid invoices, hoping a handshake will eventually turn into a check. Meanwhile, your overhead for labor and materials continues to climb.
NexaCollect provides a data-driven recovery system built for the Chattanooga economy. We operate with a 4.85 out of 5.0 client rating, proving you can be firm about your revenue without sacrificing your local standing.

The Chattanooga Reality: 3 Strategic Truths
1. The “6-Year Trap” is a Financial Liability
Tennessee offers a 6-year Statute of Limitations for written contracts, but that is a dangerous distraction.
-
The Reality: Placing accounts earlier yields significantly better results. Success rates don’t drop at year six; they plummet at month four.
-
The Math: An invoice placed at 90 days has a 30% higher recovery rate than one left to sit for 180 days. Speed is your only real defense against a total loss.
2. Protect Your Brand in a Connected Community
Chattanooga is a “big small town.” Whether you are in North Shore or Ooltewah, reputation is your currency.
-
The Fix: We use psychological mediation rather than blunt-force harassment. This allows you to protect your name on Google while still getting paid, acting as a professional, firm extension of your own office.
3. Productivity Over Paper-Chasing
Your internal accounting staff should be focused on the future, not playing “phone tag” with a debtor in Hixson or Signal Mountain.
-
The Fix: Our $15 flat-fee service allows you to stretch your internal team further without hiring extra staff. We handle the “bad cop” duties, allowing your team to maintain positive relations with your paying clients.
The 4-Step Power System
-
Step 1 & 2 (Flat-Fee): For $15 per account, we send official third-party demands that break the ghosting cycle. You keep 100% of the money collected.
-
Step 3 (Contingency): If they refuse to budge, we escalate to intensive skip-tracing and reporting to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. We charge 40%, but only if we succeed.
-
Step 4 (Legal): Our attorney network can file suit to secure judgments and bank levies at a 50% contingency.
