Professional agencies achieve 50-70% recovery on claims placed within 90 days. Internal efforts typically plateau at 30-40%.
Agencies deploy jurisdiction-specific fast-track procedures (Mahnverfahren, IOS, monitorio, EPU) that internal credit teams don't know exist or can't access.
Contingency-based agencies (no cure, no pay) eliminate creditor risk. You only pay commission on money actually recovered.
A demand from a professional collection agency carries more weight than an internal reminder. The debtor knows escalation to court proceedings is next.
Native-speaking agents in the debtor's country, citing the debtor's local legal framework, produce 3-5x the response rate of translated letters.
Agencies have established relationships with commercial courts, bailiffs, and enforcement authorities across jurisdictions. Filing in a foreign court requires local infrastructure.
Agencies can report non-payment to commercial credit bureaus — a tool unavailable to most internal credit departments.
Your credit team focuses on risk assessment and customer management instead of chasing overdue invoices.
Agencies build court-ready files from day one. Every communication, response, and promise is documented for potential litigation.
Professional agencies track limitation periods across jurisdictions (3 years in Germany, 5 in Spain, 6 in the UK, 10 in Switzerland) and ensure claims are filed before they expire.
