No upfront fee
Nothing to pay to start — we work on commission, not retainers.
Costs & fees
What does commercial debt collection cost in Australia?
Merion works on a no-recovery-no-commission basis — there's nothing to pay upfront, and a fee only applies to amounts we actually recover.
Cost is the first question most businesses ask, and the honest answer is that it depends on the model. Some providers charge fixed fees, retainers or per-letter costs whether or not you get paid. Merion takes a different approach: we work on commission, so there is no upfront fee and no retainer. If we recover nothing, you owe nothing — our interests are aligned directly with yours.
Because every account is different — the age of the debt, the amount, whether it is disputed, and where the debtor is located all matter — we give you a clear, obligation-free appraisal before any work begins, so you know exactly how the commission works on your account. There are no hidden costs and no surprises. You can request a quote or refer the account and we will set out the terms in plain language before we start.
