Debt recovery for food & beverage suppliers
Wholesale food accounts, hospitality supply and distribution invoices carry significant credit risk in a sector where margins are thin and debtors move fast. Merion recovers overdue food and beverage accounts on a commission-only basis.
Food and beverage distribution runs on weekly delivery cycles and tight trade credit. Hospitality clients receive stock, pay on 7- or 14-day terms, and sometimes roll arrears forward until a supplier finally draws the line. In a sector with high turnover and operators who disappear overnight, acting quickly on overdue accounts is not optional — it is the difference between recovery and a write-off.
Merion recovers commercial accounts for food wholesalers, beverage distributors and hospitality suppliers. We understand the short-term credit structures and account cycles common to the industry and apply fast, efficient recovery suited to the volume and pace of food supply.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you recover from a hospitality business?

What if the hospitality business has closed?
We can assess recoverability against the entity and, where relevant, its directors. Some accounts remain recoverable even after a business has closed.
