B2B Debt Collection Agency Reveals When to Outsource Debt Recovery In Georgia

Image
Key Takeaways The 60-90 day mark serves as the critical threshold when businesses should transition from internal collection efforts to professional agency services. Five clear warning signs indicate a need for professional help: aging receivables consuming capital, staff resource drain, declining recovery rates, complex compliance needs, and relationship strain. Professional B2B agencies typically operate on contingency fee structures ranging from 15-40% of recovered amounts. Agencies outperform internal teams through specialized skip-tracing technology and diplomatic relationship-preservation approaches. Strategic collection follows an escalation path from internal efforts through professional engagement to legal action.

Can You Pass Credit Card Fees To Customers? Understanding The Rules & Risk

Image
Credit card processing fees drain thousands from business accounts yearly, with costs ranging from 1.5% to 3.5% per transaction. A business processing $500,000 annually loses $7,500 to $17,500 in fees before paying rent or salaries. Legally passing these costs to customers is possible in most states, though the reality involves navigating regulations and customer relationships. Managing payment processing expenses requires understanding multiple options beyond simply adding fees at checkout, and knowing which approach fits your business makes all the difference. The Legal Side: What States Allow and Forbid Federal law permits credit card surcharges, but individual states write their own rules. A handful of states either ban surcharging completely or impose restrictions that limit how businesses can use these programs. Recent years brought major changes to this landscape. Connecticut and Massachusetts lifted their bans, while California courts struck down surcharge prohibitions on cons...

Connecticut Smoke Detector Requirements In 2026: What Homeowners Must Know

Image
Here's the real reason why we can't seem to get the feds to do away with Daylight Savings Time: They know we'll never remember to change the batteries in our smoke alarms otherwise. Changing batteries when we changed our clocks grew from a 1995 joint campaign of the International Association of Fire Chiefs and Energizer Battery Company. While it's a catchy saying, changing smoke detector batteries remains one of the most neglected household chores on our lengthy to-do lists. Connecticut legislators recently changed state laws to help prevent related tragedies. The new state codes are a good step, but there are more advanced options available to homeowners looking for serious investments in their safety and home value. The experts at Protect U Services , which specializes in fire alarms, security systems, CCTV installations, and 24-hour monitoring services throughout the Tri-State area, explain. Filling the Gap The new fire safety standards, which took effect in October...

Moving to a New State Checklist: TN Long-Distance Relocation Pro Shares Guidance

Image
So, you’re starting a new chapter in a new state - and this new beginning is set for the new year. If early 2026 has boxes and moving trucks in store, you’ve likely started preparing already. Yet, it’s totally normal to be so busy that certain things slip your mind completely.
