A pre-legal debt recovery option for your clients
Finance brokers, business advisers, and lawyers regularly encounter clients carrying overdue accounts. Merion provides a professional, commission-only recovery option before legal proceedings become necessary.
Commission-only recovery: the step before legal action
Legal proceedings are expensive, slow, and uncertain. Merion sits in the space between informal demand and litigation — professional recovery on commission, with no cost to the client unless funds are actually recovered.
Pre-legal recovery option
Merion pursues overdue commercial debts through correspondence, negotiation, and — where required — pre-legal escalation. For many debts, this resolves the matter without the cost and delay of court proceedings.
Commission-only — no upfront cost
Your client pays nothing unless funds are recovered. There is no engagement fee, no retainer, and no disbursements charged upfront. Commission is deducted from recovered amounts only.
Compliant conduct protects your client
Merion operates strictly in accordance with the ACCC/ASIC Debt Collection Guideline. All contact with the debtor is professional, documented, and within the bounds of the law. Conduct reflects on your client's business.
Contextual referral — your advice stands
Referring a debt to Merion does not limit a client's legal options. If recovery is not achieved, the documented recovery attempt may support future legal action. Your advice to explore pre-legal recovery is well-grounded.
Common referring professions
Finance brokers
Clients seeking finance often carry aged receivables that affect their borrowing capacity. Recovering those funds can improve both the client's balance sheet and their finance application.
Business advisers
Business coaches and management consultants often encounter clients with cash-flow issues rooted in overdue accounts. A referral to Merion is a concrete action step with no cost to the client if recovery fails.
Lawyers & solicitors
For commercial matters where litigation is disproportionate to the debt size, Merion provides a pre-legal recovery option. Many debts resolve without court, saving the client legal costs.
