The Crucial Role of the Small Business Sector:

The Small Business Industry holds a central position within the B2B ecosystem, making indispensable contributions that drive growth and sustainability:

• Supply Chain Anchors: Small businesses often serve as the backbone of B2B supply chains, providing essential goods and services that enable larger enterprises to operate efficiently.
• Catalysts of Innovation: Their nimbleness and innovative spirit make small businesses pioneers in driving change and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in B2B interactions.
• Job Creators: The Small Business Industry significantly contributes to job creation, bolstering economic growth by offering employment opportunities across various roles.
• Market Expanders: Many small businesses act as distributors or resellers, helping larger B2B companies access new markets and untapped customer segments.
• Expertise Providers: Specialized small businesses, including consulting, legal, and financial services, offer critical expertise and guidance to larger B2B enterprises.
• Collaborative Partners: Collaborations between small businesses and larger entities foster mutually beneficial partnerships, driving innovation and growth.

DCI’s Role in Safeguarding Small Businesses:

DCI’s Three-Phase Recovery System:

Phase One:

Commencing within 24 hours of initiating an account, Phase One follows a meticulously orchestrated process. DCI dispatches the first of four letters to the debtor via US Mail. Concurrently, DCI initiates a thorough skip-tracing and investigation effort to unearth the most comprehensive financial and contact information pertaining to the debtor. This phase is marked by relentless efforts to establish contact with the debtor, leveraging various communication channels such as phone calls, emails, text messages, and faxes. Daily attempts persist for the initial 30 to 60 days. If these endeavors fail to yield a resolution, the case advances to Phase Two.

Phase Two:

Transitioning to Phase Two involves collaboration with a local attorney from DCI’s extensive network. The receiving attorney promptly crafts letters to the debtor, bearing the authority of a law firm, demanding payment of the debt. Simultaneously, the attorney or their staff intensify efforts to contact the debtor via telephone, complementing the ongoing series of letters. In cases where all attempts to reach a resolution prove fruitless, DCI communicates with the client, elucidating the issues surrounding the case and presenting recommendations for the final phase.

Phase Three:

Phase Three is characterized by DCI’s definitive recommendation, which hinges on a thorough assessment of the case’s facts and the debtor’s financial assets. If the likelihood of recovery is deemed improbable, DCI suggests closing the case, absolving the client of any financial obligation to DCI or the affiliated attorney. However, if litigation is seen as the viable recourse, the client is presented with a choice. They can opt to proceed with legal action, assuming the upfront legal costs such as court fees, which typically range from $600.00 to $700.00, contingent on the debtor’s jurisdiction. Upon payment of these funds, DCI’s affiliated attorney initiates a lawsuit on the client’s behalf, seeking the recovery of all monies owed, including filing expenses. In the event that litigation attempts fall short, the case is concluded, and the client incurs no financial responsibility to DCI or the affiliated attorney.
