Secure Your Revenue: A Smart Collection Strategy for Chesapeake Businesses
In Chesapeake, business moves fast—from the logistics hubs near the Port of Virginia to the bustling retail centers in Greenbrier. But if your accounts receivable are lagging behind, your growth stalls.
You don’t need another aggressive “dialer” agency that burns bridges with your clients. You need a receivables partner who understands that in a tight-knit community like ours, reputation is currency.
We have re-engineered the debt recovery process to fit the modern Chesapeake economy. Here is how we help you close the gap between “invoiced” and “paid.”
The Chesapeake Risk Profile: Why You Need Protection
Every city has a unique economic pulse. In Chesapeake, the mix of healthcare providers, heavy industry, and service businesses creates specific payment risks.
-
High Turnover: With a transient military population near Hampton Roads, debtors often relocate quickly. If you wait 90 days to collect, they might already be in another state.
-
The “write-off” Trap: Local businesses often write off small debts ($200-$1,000) because traditional agencies charge 50% fees, making recovery pointless. We fixed this math.
We offer a different path: A hybrid model that combines low flat fees with high-powered contingency.
How We Recover Funds (Without the High Costs)
We don’t believe in charging you 40% on a debt that could have been solved with a simple, authoritative letter. Our system is built to filter out easy collections cheaply.
Phase 1: The “Flat-Fee Firewall” (Steps 1 & 2)
Before we start taking a percentage of your money, we use a fixed-cost approach to wake up dormant accounts.
-
The Strategy: We send a series of official demands.
-
The Cost: Less than the price of a lunch per account (approx. $15).
-
The Benefit: This phase usually resolves roughly 40-50% of unpaid bills. The best part? You keep 100% of the recovered funds. No commissions.
Phase 2: Intensive Recovery (Step 3)
If the flat-fee demands don’t work, we instantly shift gears.
-
The Strategy: Our team begins targeted phone calls, skip-tracing (locating debtors who moved), and negotiation.
-
The Cost: 40% contingency.
-
The Benefit: Zero risk. If we don’t collect at this stage, you don’t pay a dime.
Phase 3: Litigation Support (Step 4)
-
The Strategy: For high-balance refusals, we have a network of attorneys ready to file suit in Chesapeake courts.
-
The Cost: 50% contingency.

Common Questions (FAQ)
Do I have to pay the $15 fees upfront?
We usually bundle these into a service package. It is a small investment that saves you from losing 40% of your revenue on easy-to-collect accounts.
Can you handle a large backlog of old debt?
Yes. Whether you have invoices from last month or last year, we can audit your files. Note: Debts older than 2 years are significantly harder to collect, so speed is key.
What information do I need to provide?
Just the basics: Debtor name, last known address, amount owed, and the date of service/sale. We handle the skip-tracing if they have moved.
Don’t let your hard-earned revenue sit in someone else’s bank account.
