BPO Collections

What BPO Collections does

BPO Collections Ltd. is a UK-licensed third-party debt collection and revenue cycle management agency operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TSX-V-listed Everyday People Financial Corp. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Ardrossan, Ayrshire, the company employs a workforce in the 101-250 range and runs a call-centre-based collections operation backed by an FCA-authorised and Credit Services Association-accredited consumer-facing online portal that supports payments, settlements, instalments, direct debits, and income/expenditure updates. Its core proposition is outsourced arrears recovery on behalf of blue-chip UK corporates including Sky, British Gas, British Telecom, and Virgin, alongside public-sector mandates from HMRC (tax debts including VAT, Self-Assessment, Corporation Tax, National Insurance, and PAYE), the NHS, and the DWP/DFC.

The technology stack centres on a self-service web portal for consumers, an internal CRM for collections workflow management, and voice infrastructure operating from a single UK site. Consumer pricing is contractually constrained — BPO charges no fees or interest, while corporate client pricing is undisclosed and contract-based. Revenue is generated on a contingency/commission basis against debts successfully recovered, with all fees borne by the creditor client. The company is in active M&A mode, having completed its fifth UK RCM acquisition (ACT Credit Management Limited, January 7, 2026) after CCSCollect in September 2024.

Strategically, BPO Collections sits at the centre of a pure-play international RCM platform being assembled by Everyday People Financial Corp. following the agreed $850,000 divestiture of its EP Homes and Financial Services segments to FinCard Financial Services Inc. UK RCM revenue grew 47% to $69.7 million in FY2025, driving parent-level revenue to $76.2 million (up 33%) and adjusted EBITDA to $8.0 million (more than double the prior year), with net loss narrowing materially. The combination of regulatory licences, multi-decade blue-chip client relationships, and an active consolidation strategy positions BPO as a scale consolidator in UK debt collection rather than a venture-stage technology entrant.
