Credit Policy for businesses and how to extend credit and manage credit risk

Plymouth, NH - Nearly 4 years after the release of her first book, “Starting a Collection Agency, How to make money collecting money”, Michelle Dunn, debt collection expert and author of 5 books in “The Collecting Money Series” has just released the “Second Edition of Starting a Collection Agency, How to make money collecting money.”   In the cover story of the July issue of Collections & Credit Risk , John Frank writes, “Dunn has seen a flood of people getting into debt collection and buying in recent years.  A Book she wrote in 2002, Starting a Collection Agency used to sell approximately 5 copies a month and now can sell over 100 a month at times, anecdotal evidence that interest in the profession is rising.”  When Dunn wrote the first edition of her book it was because of the number of people contacting her and asking how they could start their own agency.  “Interest in this industry has really grown at an astonishing level” says Dunn.  “I now have my “Collecting Money Series” of books with requests for more titles to round out the series all the time. I am working on new books for the series as well as on some joint ventures with other collection industry experts.”  My “Second Edition” is an updated version of the popular first edition of Starting a Collection Agency, with new tips, techniques, and plans for anyone who is thinking about starting a debt collection agency.  This Second Edition has much more detailed information, FAQ’s asked by people who have used this book to start their own agencies, and a new special Bonus Item, the Starting a Collection Agency Checklist.

Entrepreneur Magazines Press (McGraw-Hill) knew a good thing when they saw it, they will be releasing “The Ultimate Handbook of Credit & Collections, the check IS in the mail” penned by Dunn this August. Like all of Dunn’s books this book will outline in layman’s terms what policies are essential for any small business.  Allowing a business to make more money – even without making more sales – by more efficiently collecting from customers.   Look for it in bookstores near you and online.
