On 29 November 2024, our MPs are due to debate and vote on the new Assisted Dying Bill. If passed,...
Our pest control business clients are often faced with the situation where a customer does not pay:
- Has your customer been with you for a long time?
- Did you think you had a good relationship?
- Have you let credit facilities run too high?
- Have you noticed an issue with slow payments?
- Are you afraid that by chasing the debt you will ruin the relationship with your customer?
Many pest control businesses feel the same, but that should not stop you from getting paid.
We work hard to recover the monies due without damaging the all-important customer relationships and reputation of your business. We will talk to your customer and investigate options and ways in which they will be able to pay what they owe you, whilst maintaining the undisputed loyalty they will have to you and your business.
Key Debt recovery ‘danger points’ for pest control businesses:
- Seasonal work leading to inconsistent cash flow.
- Non-payment for emergency work.
- Non-payment for follow up visits and ongoing maintenance.
- Customer disputes over the effectiveness of actions.
- After the end of an introductory period.
- Residential clients moving address and being difficult to locate.
- How to credit check a customer – especially a domestic/residential customer.
Ways in which we help pest control businesses with debt recovery
Quite simply we will take over the tricky issue of collecting monies you are owed.
We often find that because we are not directly associated with the business, we can talk more frankly to your customers, often delivering results.
We can also help with your account opening and credit control procedures – suggesting options that may reduce the frequency of customers who cause you problems.
Why use a solicitor to manage your outstanding debts?
- It shows your debtors that you mean business. Often a chat or Solicitor's Demand Letter will prompt payment or a discussion about settlement of an outstanding debt.
- It releases you to concentrate of what you do best – running your business.
- A solicitor can take matters further should the customer not be forthcoming with payment – not all debt recovery agencies can do this.
