The difference here lies primarily in the cost model. Attorneys work on a time and materials basis, which is partly regulated, with an advance payment typically required. Specialized collection companies work on a success fee basis, with reputable providers requiring an advance payment against this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Attorneys are also clearly the right choice when it comes to evaluating more complex legal questions or when claims must be pursued through litigation. Specialized collection companies are more appropriate when in-depth investigations are necessary or when collection must be conducted through interventions and negotiations on site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"block-2-freier-text\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"upperText\"><strong>Always a central question\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"smallText\" style=\"color: #990100;\">What are the cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Factoring and conventional collection agencies<\/strong> operate a high-volume business with standardized processes. They can cover their expenses through basic fees and percentage-based success commissions. <strong>Attorneys<\/strong> have a higher, highly variable workload per case and work as pronounced specialists with sometimes high hourly rates. Once the retainer is exhausted, they bill for additional work on an ongoing basis. For lawsuits, court fees are added, which can be very high for high-value disputes depending on the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><strong>Specialized collection companies<\/strong> work on the basis of a success fee, against which an advance payment is typically required. At Inkasso-Team AG, the advance payment is also offset against the success fee; in case of success, this represents the maximum cost amount. In case of failure, the maximum costs consist of the advance payment. As a special feature, Inkasso-Team AG commits to taking on cases for an unlimited period, thus waiving its right to terminate except in defined exceptions. In other words: We share in the costs and risk by continuing to work on the case even when the advance payment is exhausted, a patience that often pays off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><strong>Offers purely on a success fee basis, without advance payment<\/strong> should be viewed critically. While they may appear attractive to the client, they entail a risk. If a case doesn&#8217;t prove straightforward or takes longer, such collection companies may be tempted to &#8220;file away&#8221; the case.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"block-2-freier-text\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"upperText\">The Strategy in Accounts Receivable Management<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"smallText\" style=\"color: #990100;\">How do we approach business debt collection?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Analysis of the claim case is particularly important in business collection:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">What is the legal basis of the claim?<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">What is the business-professional and financial situation of the debtor company, or a private debtor?<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Are there starting points to support negotiations with the debtor through legal pressure scenarios?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Our analysis is based on many years of experience in accounts receivable management\/business debt collection. Several team members have experience as business consultants or independent entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><strong>Our research and investigations<\/strong> focus on the financial situation of the debtor company or a private debtor. In addition to in-depth online research, this phase also includes on-site activities (inspections, covert surveillance, etc.).<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">On this basis, we develop <strong>a case-specific collection strategy.<\/strong> It is evident that such cases cannot be resolved with a standardized approach. The core of our strategy often consists of maneuvering the debtor into a situation where it becomes more advantageous for them to reach an agreement with us and pay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">As a supporting measure, we resort to <strong>civil and criminal legal proceedings<\/strong> where it is reasonable or necessary for substantiating disputed claims. To the extent we are not authorized to do this ourselves, we work with attorneys who are familiar with our methods. However, it is the explicit goal of our collection efforts to secure payments through forceful negotiation beforehand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">The benefit is obvious: <strong>It costs you less and happens faster.<\/strong> You avoid years of litigation at the end of which, even if you prevail, you don&#8217;t necessarily have money, but rather a piece of paper. Often enough, the collection then begins anew, only the debtor has had all the time in the world to prepare for it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block-6-text-mit-farbigen-kasten\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff\">\n\t<div class=\"containerWrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"textWrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"upperText\">Accounts Receivable for Business<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #990100;\">Your advantages with our Business Collection Service\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"><strong>Cost savings through elimination of legal expenses<\/strong> (attorney fees, court costs, etc.).

We were able to expose the false statements about future business opportunities as fabricated or exaggerated and remained persistently present on-site until the debtor signed a reliable acknowledgment of debt and a binding payment plan. Within 6 months, the entire amount of approximately CHF 200,000 was paid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">A <strong>real estate brokerage firm<\/strong> was entitled to a six-figure commission from a land sale. The seller attempted to deceive the company by terminating the brokerage agreement and claiming they had met the customer through other sources.

Through persistent negotiation, in which we also introduced the criminal offense of fraud, we were able to persuade the seller to pay the commission in full within 3 months.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">The <strong>subsidiary of a German automotive manufacturer<\/strong> had a customer who went into insolvency. There was suspicion that the debtor had damaged his company through dubious fund outflows and thus contributed to the insolvency. We were able to prove these fund outflows and make them available to the insolvency administrator. The administrator filed a liability claim against the company owner and initiated criminal charges, while we simultaneously &#8220;worked on&#8221; the debtor. We achieved a deal whereby the debtor repaid a portion of the illegally obtained funds back into the bankruptcy estate, thereby increasing our client&#8217;s recovery rate.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block-3-icons\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Working for your business<\/b><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"smallText\" style=\"color: #990100;\">Unconventional, Creative, Persistent and with Pressure<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"flexRow justCenter maTo6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"iconWrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inkasso-team.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/icon-schachfigur.svg\" alt=\"Icon Schachfigur\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-center iconText\">Strategic Collection.
