Specializing in Credit & Collection Management for Commercial Real Estate

Credit Checks – At Advantage Credit Management (ACM), we recognize the importance of the initial steps involved in evaluating a prospective tenant for your property. The credit check is one of those steps that will provide a better understanding of the prospective tenant for you. Knowing the financial strengths and weaknesses of the applicant will serve you well in structuring a contract with the required protection of the property owner in mind. We provide comprehensive information about the business and/or individual to you. This information comes from numerous sources including banks, trade references, landlord references as well as on-line systems. The information gathered is on the corporation, personal property, real estate ownership and credit reports. You will receive a report based on our findings. Included you will find recommendations for covenant structure and forms of security the landlord may want to consider to reduce their risk.

Collections – Should there be an occasion where your tenant has failed to provide the specified payment(s) as outlined under the terms and conditions of the lease agreement, ACM will be there to assist you in collecting your overdue accounts.

This service includes:

• Working directly with site managers and administrative staff to become familiar with the account history.
• Reviewing the lease and correspondence file.
• Contacting the tenant directly if required.
• Assist with the preparation of a Demand Letter and follow-up.
• Provide possible repayment structures and options.
