How the Merion Partner Programme Works

What the programme is

The Merion Partner Programme is a simple, professional arrangement for advisers — accountants, bookkeepers, solicitors, brokers and business consultants — whose clients are owed money by other businesses. Rather than chasing the debt yourself, or watching a client write it off, you refer the matter to Merion's commercial recovery team.

Merion specialises in Australian business-to-business debt recovery across Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT. The programme is built so that referring is light-touch for you: a short handover, a clear point of contact, and a recovery process your client can be confident in. You introduce the work; Merion does the chasing.

How a referral moves through the process

The path from referral to resolution is deliberately straightforward:

1. you flag an overdue commercial account and pass the key details to Merion;
2. Merion reviews the matter and confirms it is suitable for recovery;
3. the file is actioned by a recovery specialist, who manages contact with the debtor;
4. you are kept informed of progress and the eventual outcome.

You are never asked to run the collection yourself. Once a matter is referred, Merion carries it forward and reports back, so your involvement is measured in minutes rather than hours.

Where you stay involved

A partnership only works if the adviser stays in the loop. You remain your client's trusted point of contact throughout. Merion handles the recovery conversations with the debtor, but keeps you informed so you are never caught out when your client asks for an update.

Because Merion works on a commission-only basis with no upfront cost, you can introduce the service without asking the client to commit money before any result is achieved. That makes the conversation easy: you are offering a professional, compliant option, not pushing a paid product. For the exact commercial terms that apply to your client's matter, contact Merion directly.

Getting started

There is no heavy paperwork to begin. Most advisers start with a single matter to see how the process feels, then refer more as confidence grows. When you have an overdue commercial account in mind, you can begin with a no-obligation appraisal through Merion's free debt appraisal, which gives you an early read on whether the debt is worth pursuing.
