Small businesses have a lot of obstacles nowadays. When they have to deal with larger companies, a lot of issues can pop up. The economy has forced individuals to make certain decisions such as not paying their debts to companies that they have taken services from. Collection agencies have become the small businesses best friend because of the ability to get the money that they are owed instead of the small business having to deal with it themselves.

My father's company is a small business the deals with embroidery of sports apparel and other clothing options. They go out and find clients that buy in bulk and do contracts with them that are normally not paid up front. Because of this, many clients take a while in order to pay back what they owe which can be a real issue for a small business moving forward. With that, he hired a debt collection company to help him with his issues.

The collection agency is the hero of the small business in this situation. They can handle the problem while the small business keeps doing their own work. This helps everyone out and can be one of the only ways that a small business can guarantee they get the money that is owed to them. The ability of the collection agency to be the tough guy is the key to the whole process.

Nowadays this seems to be a much more pressing issue than it might have been a decade ago. The small business does not have as much leverage as a larger one and therefore has more problems with people not honoring their deals. Collection agencies must be doing well with the amount of people trying to skip out on paying their bills due to the sheer inability to do so.

Overall, you have to respect a company like my father's who is just trying to prosper, and has to deal with clients who are trying to scam them out of what they are owed. Although a collection agency normally has a negative connotation associated with it, in this case they are just trying to help someone get what is rightfully theirs. So under these circumstances, they are really more of the hero of the story than anything.
