We looked at the market in some detail and decided that an independent commercial finance company with good experience in the SME market and specifically the PR industry – which IGF had – would be the best partner for us. 
Debt Recovery
‘Debt Recovery’ is a sales ledger collection and funding facility provided to Insolvency Practitioners appointed in UK based receiverships and administrations.
Our debt collection and funding package is tailored to meet the
individual requirements of each collect out. The collection process
commences as soon as we receive the debtor book together
with appropriate background information and substantiating
paperwork necessary to aid collection. It allows you to outsource
an important process to specialists who can focus immediately
on the collection of unpaid sales invoices for the benefit of all
parties.
Our basic criteria
The business must have created quantifiable trade debts and we will require confirmation of your appointment.
Suitable business sectors
We will consider all industry sectors.
Funding
You may wish to run businesses in your role as Administrator
which require funding. We treat each case individually, judging it
on its own merits and are happy to consider an advance against
‘approved invoices’ at a level acceptable to both parties to assist
with a future turnaround or sale.
Fees
In respect of ‘collect outs’ we levy administration fees on a ‘no
collect - no fee’ basis of between 5-10% of debts collected. This
fee can be negotiated for ‘multi-case’ collect outs. Any legal fees
incurred would be charged separately on a case by case basis.
In respect of businesses you are administering we will agree a
charging structure based on the specifi cs of each case. This will
involve an administration fee of between 1-5% and a discount
charge of between 2-4% above base rate in respect of any
funding utilised under an agreed prepayment facility.
Sales ledger & credit management facilities
Collection is undertaken as your agents using a combination of telephone and written requests for payment on terms outlined at the outset and agreed with you.
We are able to send letters on your headed paper if required
and can provide you with a direct computer link to our server to
enable you to view, in real time, the current position of individual
company ledgers and their outstanding debtors together with
details of monies received.
Such monies are held to your order and remitted to you on receipt or forwarded on a regular basis as required. The process is fully managed at each stage by our experienced team including presenting cases to your solicitors or continuing through our own lawyers, to judgement and beyond.
Contract
Our contract is individual to each ledger collected and will need
to be signed by the appointed practitioner. We do, of course,
discuss and agree all terms and conditions with you in detail
before any facility is put in place.
