TCD's value to companies is by drastically reducing bad debt, and by reducing opportunity and interest costs. TCD qualifies client's customers credit worthiness and manages the collection process.

These specialists have years of managing receivables in industries such as consumer products, industrial manufacturing, food manufacturing and distribution. TCD's talented team utilizes a variety of effective strategies in managing receivables from negotiating with cash-strapped distributors to reconciling large account balances with multi-national billion dollar manufacturers.

On average, our clients’ bad debt expense is reduced by more than 50 percent and their days sales outstanding are decreased by greater than 25 percent through TCD's efforts.  Our services help companies uncover hidden costs, enhance customer and Sales relationships, and recover otherwise lost capital.
