We know make-goods from stalls
We capture proof-of-performance up front and route real disputes back to you within one business day — we don't bulldoze a legitimate claim and cost you the relationship.
Radio's receivables specialists
You already wrote it off.
We get it back.
We're a collection agency that works only with radio stations — recovering the past-due advertiser invoices your team gave up on, without burning the advertiser relationship.
- You get 100% of your invoice
- The debtor pays our fee
- No collection, no fee
- Funds held in trust
From the team behind Radio Workflow — software radio stations already run on.
You get 100%. The debtor pays our fee.
- Debtor pays (your invoice + our $295 fee)$3,295
- Back in your account — your full invoice$3,000
- At a typical 30% shop you'd get$2,100
- You keep$900 more
Our flat $295 fee rides on top of your invoice and is paid by the debtor — where your advertising terms authorize collection costs (most do; we confirm at placement). If the debtor pays only part, every dollar goes to you first — we don't earn until you're made whole. No collection, no fee.
01
Place your accounts
One at a time or a whole spreadsheet — minimum balance $250. You see every account in the portal the moment it lands.
02
We work them properly
Validation notice first, then a documented, professional contact sequence. Every letter and call is on an audit trail you can read.
03
You get paid
Recoveries settle to a segregated client-trust account and remit to you twice monthly — with a statement that reconciles to the penny.
Why radio stations choose us
A generic collector can't tell a
make-good from a stall.
That one blind spot costs you both the money and the advertiser. Radio AR is all we do.
AOR & co-op, decoded
When an advertiser says "I paid my agency" or "co-op covers that," we know who's actually liable — and collect from the right party.
Your AE stays the good guy
We collect under our name, not yours. The relationship survives; your aging report still gets shorter.
Total transparency
Every placement, notice, dispute, and remittance is visible in your portal in real time. No monthly mystery reports.
Commercial only, in trust, by the book
B2B advertiser receivables exclusively — we don't touch consumer debt. Recovered funds sit in a segregated client-trust account, and we voluntarily hold every contact to FDCPA-grade standards.
One flat fee, published
No collection, no fee. Ever.
One flat fee per invoice we collect — added on top of your invoice and paid by the debtor. Nothing comes out of your money, nothing upfront, nothing on accounts we don't recover.
$295
flat — added on top of your invoice and paid by the debtor
- You get 100% of your invoice
- $0 upfront — no collection, no fee
- You're paid first on partials
- Minimum invoice $250
- Your past-due invoice$3,000
- Debtor pays (invoice + our $295 fee)$3,295
- Back in your account — 100%$3,000
- At a typical 30% contingency shop you'd get$2,100
Minimum account balance $250. The $295 collection fee is added on top of your invoice and paid by the debtor where your advertising terms authorize collection costs — most station T&Cs do, and we confirm at placement. On partial recoveries every dollar goes to you first; our fee accrues only after you're made whole. Age doesn't change the fee, but older debt recovers less: place early.

Straight answers
The questions every GM asks first.
Is this like selling my debt?
No. We never buy receivables — your station keeps title to every invoice and we collect on contingency. Recovered funds settle into a segregated client-trust account and remit to you twice monthly with a statement that reconciles to the penny.
What does it cost?
One flat $295 fee per invoice we actually collect, added on top of your invoice and paid by the debtor — so you receive 100% of your invoice. No collection, no fee, nothing upfront. Minimum account balance $250.
Will collections burn my advertiser relationships?
Protecting the relationship is the point. We collect under our name so your account executive stays the good guy, we hold every contact to FDCPA-grade conduct voluntarily, and a real dispute — a make-good claim, a co-op question — is routed back to you within one business day instead of being bulldozed.
Do you collect consumer debts?
No. We work commercial (business-to-business) radio advertising receivables exclusively. We don't touch consumer debt, and we do not report debtors to consumer credit bureaus.
When do I get paid?
Recoveries sit in a segregated client-trust account — never our operating funds — and remit to you on a twice-monthly cycle. On partial recoveries every dollar goes to your principal first; our fee accrues only after you're made whole.
Can my station group or billing software integrate?
Yes. Everything in the portal is available over a REST API with bearer-token auth — place accounts and pull recovery status programmatically, one at a time or by the spreadsheet.
