Unpaid invoices can put serious strain on your business by impacting cash flow and limiting growth. Choosing the right debt collection partner helps you recover what you’re owed while maintaining positive relationships with your clients.
At Eastern Credit Management Services, we specialize in professional debt recovery solutions for businesses across Atlantic Canada, including New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Here’s what to look for when selecting the right collection agency.
Every industry faces unique challenges when it comes to collections. A debt collection agency experienced in your sector will understand your customers, payment terms, and compliance requirements.
Ask potential partners:
Have you worked with businesses like mine before?
What is your success rate?
How do you adapt your approach to different industries?
At Eastern Credit Management Services, we’ve worked with companies of all sizes, from healthcare and retail to utilities and professional services, giving us the experience to tailor our approach for every client.
A good debt collection partner reflects your company’s reputation. Choose an agency that communicates with empathy and respect. The goal is to resolve outstanding balances, not damage relationships.
Look for an agency that:
Uses diplomatic, professional language
Provides clear, timely updates
Keeps your customers informed throughout the process
At Eastern Credit Management Services, every interaction is handled with care and professionalism to protect your brand image.
Debt collection is a regulated industry. The right partner must follow all provincial and federal laws, including licensing requirements.
Ask about:
Licensing within your province
Adherence to consumer protection laws
Staff training and ethical standards
Choosing a licensed collection agency protects your business from legal and reputational risk. At Eastern Credit Management Services, we operate fully within all Atlantic Canadian regulatory frameworks.
Modern collection agencies use secure digital tools to keep clients informed. Ask your potential partner if they offer real-time updates or a client portal to monitor progress.
At Eastern Credit Management Services, our secure client portal allows you to track recovery rates, view account statuses, and download reports whenever you need them.
Not all agencies price the same. Some work on contingency, others on flat fees, or a hybrid model. Make sure you understand the pricing structure before signing an agreement.
Transparency is key. Avoid agencies that are vague about costs or include hidden fees.
Eastern Credit Management Services offers a straightforward, performance-based fee structure that ensures our goals align with yours, we only succeed when you do.
Working with a local Atlantic Canadian debt collection agency means partnering with professionals who understand your community, economy, and clients.
