Debt Recovery
Carrying out proper debt collection management is essential for all businesses. This is more evident in exceptional circumstances like the present, where cash flow is the focus of any company and managers and owners realize its importance for business survival.

This can affect their growth, as sometimes they must resort to alternative financing sources to continue existing and, in the worst case, can be dragged to closure due to lack of liquidity. For this reason, it is very important that every company has a debt collection policy, implementing methodologies that allow it to be more effective and, consequently, avoid the serious problems that delinquency entails.
