DIY Collections? Here’s Why It Might Be Costing You More in the Long Run
Trying to handle your own debt collections might seem like a practical way to cut costs—especially if you're a small business owner trying to do it all. But the truth is, DIY collections often create more problems than they solve.
If you’ve ever sent your own late payment reminders, you know how time-consuming—and uncomfortable—it can be. The emotional tension, repeated follow-ups, and uncertainty about what you can legally say all make for a stressful experience.
The Pitfalls of Doing It Yourself
Here’s what many businesses encounter with in-house debt collection:
Lost time: Every hour spent chasing unpaid invoices is an hour not spent generating new business.
Lower recovery rates: Without a strategic system, recovery success drops significantly.
Damaged client relationships: An overly aggressive or emotional approach can turn loyal customers away.
Legal risk: Canada’s debt collection laws are strict, and missteps can have serious consequences.
