Revenue model

1. Debt Collection Services (Contingency/Performance-Based): The company operates primarily on a 'No win, No fee' basis for debt collection services, meaning fees are only charged when debts are successfully recovered. This is the primary revenue stream, with costs depending on case value, debtor location, and collection phase. In many jurisdictions, collection costs are recoverable from the debtor under local law.
2. Software Subscriptions (Credit-IQ): Monthly flat-rate subscription model for Credit-IQ AR automation software at $29 per month. The software automates accounts receivable management including overdue monitoring, automatic reminders, and customizable workflows.
3. Accounts Receivable Outsourcing Services: Managed services for outsourced accounts receivable management, tailored to client needs with services performed in the name and style of the client's organisation.
4. Legal Collection Services: Legal debt collection services provided through vetted legal partners in debtor jurisdictions, with costs estimated during pre-legal assessment phase before clients decide to proceed.
5. Channel Partner Referral Fees: Revenue from partnership arrangements where referral partners earn fees for qualified leads, and connectivity partners build integrations with the API suite.
