With the state of debt in the country, it’s not uncommon for businesses to seek the services of a consumer or commercial debt collection agency. If you’re looking for one, then partner with a company that offers more than just debt collection. Partner with a company like Summit A*R that takes care of your company in more ways than one.

#1 We’re Affordable

Depending on the age, type, or balance of debt, or base rates are usually 7.5% and can go up to 50% if it’s a challenging debt. Compare this to other companies with much higher base rates. Not only do they have higher costs, but they’re more likely to accept only your least challenging accounts.

#2 We Serve Most Businesses

When seeking to recover debt, most smallbusinesses assume that they’re out of luck because debt collection agencies won’t work with them. At Summit A*R, no business is too large or too small to partner with a collection company like ours. We’ll serve sole proprietors like freelancer writers or landscapers, small sized businesses such as landlords or cellular dealers, medium-sized businesses such as health care providers, and large-sized businesses such as corporations.

#3 We Don’t Have Mandatory Minimums

Many small businesses get turned down by debt collection agencies because they can’t guarantee a certain number of accounts on a monthly or annual basis. At Summit A*R we don’t make such demands. We can work with your business whether you have one or many accounts for us to recover. As a small business, even if you have one debtor, you deserve to recover your revenue just like any other business.

#4 We Don’t Demand Payment Upfront

Certain agencies may demand payment upfront before beginning a relationship. Then, they may prioritize easier accounts and ignore your more challenging ones. At Summit A*R we don’t demand any payment upfront to work with you. This way, you know you aren’t throwing good money after bad.

We only get paid when we recover your revenue. As you can imagine, this creates an extra incentive for us to get the job done right. Call or email us now to discuss how we can provide the best solutions to some or all your delinquent receivable needs.
