Commercial debt recovery in Canberra
Canberra's economy runs on government contracting, professional services, construction and IT — sectors where slow payment and overdue accounts are chronic. Merion recovers B2B debts from Canberra-based debtors on a commission-only basis.
Canberra is built around the federal government — and the contractors, consultants and small businesses that supply it. Payment terms stretch long in government work, and the lag passes down the chain: subcontractors and service providers absorb delay that was never their liability to bear. The result is a commercial market with persistent overdue-account exposure, particularly in construction, IT, professional services and facilities management.
Merion recovers commercial debts from ACT-based debtors. We work entirely online and by phone, so there is no office requirement and no geographic constraint. You get documented, professional contact from one team, one point of contact, and a commission-only fee that only applies when we actually recover something.
