Debt recovery in Australia

From Perth to Sydney, from mining camps in the Pilbara to corporate towers in Melbourne. We recover B2B debts across all Australian states and territories — with the legal instruments that make debtors move faster than the approval process.

There is a particular species of debtor in Australia that operates on an interesting principle: the further from a major city the work happens, the longer the payment takes. A mining services company in Western Australia can extract ore worth AUD 2.3 million per week using your equipment, process it through your pumps, transport it on your trucks — and then explain with a straight face that your AUD 156,000 invoice is "still in the approval queue."

The approval queue, in this context, has satellite internet, mobile phone coverage, and a helicopter logistics schedule. What it doesn't have is an obvious reason for a 93-day payment delay.

Australia's B2B payment culture sits at an uncomfortable intersection: the economy is sophisticated, the legal system is robust, and the distances are enormous. A creditor in Singapore or Germany chasing a debtor in Perth is dealing with a 6-to-14 hour time zone gap, a debtor who may genuinely be "in the field" (the Pilbara is the size of France), and a corporate culture where payment terms of 60-90 days are treated as suggestions rather than obligations.
