Prepare the account file

What helps us review a San Diego area account.

These are examples of records that can help establish a commercial balance. Share what you have; DMC will review the account before recommending a recovery path.

Laboratory, life-science, and technical-service balances

Provide approved purchase orders, service agreements, delivery confirmations, milestone acceptance records, and invoices. Identify the purchasing business and billing contact when the research site, operating company, and accounts-payable office differ.

Manufacturing, equipment, and subcontractor invoices

Gather the subcontract or purchase order, approved specifications, work or delivery records, change approvals, and statements. Include correspondence about acceptance, rework, returns, or disputed charges so DMC can review the balance in context.

Commercial recovery services

The right next step for each account.

Collection strategy should reflect the documentation, age, balance, debtor history, and likelihood of recovery—not a one-size-fits-all script.

01

Commercial account recovery

Persistent, professional outreach for past-due B2B invoices, guided by the account history, documentation, and your business goals.

02

Demand and pre-litigation support

Formal demands and clearly documented escalation designed to establish urgency and create a path toward resolution.

03

Lien filings and notices

Coordination of applicable lien-related filings, notices, deadlines, and authorized enforcement activity when the facts support it.

When ordinary collection efforts are not enough, DMC can coordinate evaluation by qualified legal professionals. DMC does not provide legal advice.
