Any experience/advice in Accounts Receivable Management/ Debt Collection?

by a searcher

3 years ago

I'm working on a deal right now for an Accounts Receivable Management/ Debt Collection business. 

Good industry reputation, small but qualified team, good margins and an owner willing to spend time to properly transition the business, but I need some general guidance on how to adequately analyze and value the business. 

Has anyone looked into this space or have experience in it? What should I look out for, or any tips on structuring the deal, etc.? Any lenders that specialize in this space?
