What Commercial Credit Services does

Commercial Credit Services Pty Limited, now trading as Boost Collections following a 2025 rebrand, is a privately held debt collection agency founded in 2001 and headquartered in Blacktown, NSW, with a regional office in Wellington, New Zealand. The firm serves large corporates, government agencies, education facilities, small and medium businesses, and consumer debtors across Australia and New Zealand, offering commercial (B2B, higher-value) and consumer (high-volume, lower-value) collections, in-house legal action via its wholly-owned subsidiary Aston Reid Lawyers Pty Ltd, skip tracing, field calls, demand letters, and customer reminder services.

The company's technology stack centers on a proprietary integrated debt-collection platform shared between its account managers and Aston Reid Lawyers solicitors, supplemented by the DebtSmart client portal for real-time status, file notes, and performance reporting. Operations are governed by ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environmental) certifications, a CAPI Licence (409529284), and formal Privacy Act 1988 training.

Commercial Credit Services operates a sales-led go-to-market combining dedicated account managers (enterprise field sales) with inside-sales phone and online enquiry handling (toll-free 1800 446 901 in Australia and +64 4928 3016 in New Zealand). Revenue is generated primarily through commission on debt successfully collected on a contingency basis, with an annual membership fee providing supplementary recurring income. The firm is founder-owned (Bill Van Poppel is the named founder/owner), has 51–100 employees, and has not disclosed external institutional funding or a parent company.
