Plano, TX — The last thing any business wants in this economy is too many past-due accounts.

As a leading Commercial Collection Agency, Burt & Associates has turned its website into a resource for business owners who want to avoid debt recovery.

The new site gives helpful information to business owners to improve their bottom line including tax tips, business trends, cash flow advice, what you need to know about stimulus money and what your uncollected debt is really costing you.

The new design features a more professional appearance, a free downloadable report covering the top mistakes made by businesses in the collections process, and easier access to get a quote for services.

"I really think this new look will help our prospects find what they’re looking for faster," Jerry Curtis, CEO of Burt & Associates, said regarding the new site design. "They all have primary concerns about using an agency to help them collect money, and our new site really speaks to those concerns and gives them the answers they need."

According to the Commercial Law League of America, of which Burt & Associates is a member, commercial collection agencies received a record volume of business-to-business accounts for debt collection in 2009. Members received $17,762,139,514 in accounts placed for collection—a 33.4 percent increase over 2008.

As more businesses struggle in this economical climate, the past-due debt will become harder to collect.

For that reason, the free down-loadable report offered on the Burt & Associates site might be helpful in directing a business manager on how to modify the collection practices to be more effective.

"Overall, the biggest change we’ve made on the site is making it easier for our prospects to get a quote. When a business needs to turn an account over, it should be as simple & effortless as possible. The last thing they need is more hassle or red tape," Curtis said.
