Debt collection doesn’t have to drain your resources or put your business at risk.
Over 70% of SMBs have been negatively impacted by late payments, with many owners spending hours each week chasing overdue invoices instead of focusing on growth. The problem is widespread: 52% of SMB owners say 10–39% of their invoices are currently overdue, 51% of suppliers are paid late, and in the US, 55% of B2B invoices are overdue.
With late payments hitting so many businesses, it’s no wonder more companies are choosing to outsource debt collection. By partnering with specialized collections teams, you can recover cash faster, boost efficiency, and scale your operations—keeping your cash flow healthy and your business growing.
What are the Benefits of Outsourcing Debt Collections?
Slash Your Collection Costs by Up to 60%
Building an in-house collections team is expensive. Beyond salaries, you’re looking at:
- Training costs, technology infrastructure, and software licenses
- Office space, equipment, and ongoing IT support
- HR management and compliance requirements
When you outsource debt collection, you eliminate these overhead costs while gaining a fully trained, equipped team at a fraction of the price—often up to 60% less than building internally. That means more resources for growth and less wasted time chasing payments.
Streamline Processes
If your local team is spending a few hours on debt collection, it may not be a scalable solution. As your company grows, so does the workload. Debt collection is most successful when it is actioned early. If debts are left dormant or allowed to increase, it reduces the likelihood of a successful recovery.
Alternatively, a dedicated offshore collections team can focus on actively recovering debts – resulting in more successful outcomes and less outstanding debt. Outsourcing enables businesses to collect overdue accounts more efficiently, with specialized teams dedicated to collecting debt and improving overall accounts receivable performance.
Boost Productivity and Generate Revenue
How can your business achieve its growth targets if your core staff spend their entire day collecting delinquent payments? The short answer: it can’t.
To achieve your goals, a dedicated team of collections experts can help increase incoming payments and maximize your ROI. Outsourcing debt collection functions enables businesses to recover debt more effectively, leading to increased revenue. This allows your core team to focus on the more important business projects—such as finding new clients, making sales, improving your brand, and generating revenue and other higher-value functions.
What Should You Look for in an Outsourcing Provider?
Industry Expertise
Outsourcing your debt collections requires access to skilled professionals who proficiently speak your language, are well-versed in collections laws, and familiar with the latest tools, software, and processes for successful collection.
Not having the right people for the job can cost you a lot of money in unrecovered debt and customer loyalty. Your provider should thoroughly understand your requirements and offer the best collection solutions.
Excellent Communication
What are your outsourcing expectations? Clearly discuss your requirements and expectations with potential outsourcing partners to ensure that you get the results you need. Reliable providers should provide the most effective tools for communication so you can stay connected with your team, get accurate reports and maximize productivity.
Enhanced Security and Compliance
Security must be a top priority when working in the debt collection industry. Working with sensitive data requires enhanced physical and cybersecurity and, in many cases, keeping it secure is the law. Because of this, your business must ensure that your outsourcing partner can deliver the highest levels of physical and cybersecurity and make sure the staff are well versed in security procedures and policies.
