If you run a commercial laundry business, cash flow matters. When a trade customer delays payment for linen hire, workwear rental, or regular laundry services, it can quickly affect staffing, equipment maintenance, and your ability to take on new contracts.
At DCS we help UK commercial laundry businesses recover unpaid B2B invoices professionally — while keeping communication firm, fair, and relationship-aware.
Common debt problems in commercial laundry
Commercial laundry debts often follow a familiar pattern:
– Regular weekly/monthly invoices that quietly drift overdue
– “We’re waiting to be paid” excuses from hospitality or facilities customers
– Disputes raised late (after services were delivered) to delay payment
– Multiple sites/contacts, making it hard to pin down who authorises payment
– Contract or service-level complaints used as leverage.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone – and you don’t need to keep chasing. We already support commercial laundry businesses with overdue accounts, and welcome the opportunity to support more.
What we can help you recover
We focus on business-to-business debts such as:
– Unpaid invoices for linen hire and rental agreements
– Workwear rental and cleaning service invoices
– Hospitality laundry charges (hotels, restaurants, venues)
– Care home and healthcare laundry service invoices
– One-off commercial laundry jobs and ongoing service contracts
Our approach: firm, professional, and designed to get paid
Our role is to take the pressure off you and move the account forward.
Here’s how we typically run a case:
1. You send us the basics – a completed instruction form, invoices, and relevant correspondence.
2. We contact the debtor directly – by post, email and telephone as appropriate.
3. We push for full payment or a realistic payment plan – and we manage the back-and-forth.
4. You get updates at key stages – clear progress and next-step recommendations.
5. If needed, we escalate – including County Court proceedings or placing the debtor into Liquidation.
If a debt is partly disputed, we’ll work to recover any undisputed amount while the dispute is addressed.
The debtor is instructed to make payment directly to our client. This helps to speed up the payment to the client and reassures the debtor that we are acting on behalf of the client.
Pricing: simple fees, aligned with results
Our fee structure is straightforward: –
A small instruction fee to open the case
A success-based fee when the case concludes
If you have regular, ongoing cases (which is common in commercial laundry), I can also discuss volume pricing.
