In 2012, 331 people every day will be declared insolvent or bankrupt. This is equivalent to 1 person every 60 seconds during a working day.

Local authorities have a duty to collect Non Domestic Rates and to support local business. We recognise that it is vital therefore that when a business falls into arrears suitable enforcement methods are used to collect payment without promoting business failure or bankruptcy.

Many councils use JBW's comprehensive enforcement solutions for the collection of Non Domestic Rates because we have:

• High collection rates – JBW achieves collection rates of approximately 74% and is able to return funds to clients within 24 hours of collection.
• Tracing solutions – JBW works with Experian, Data Discoveries and Companies House enabling us to locate new addresses for businesses upon case upload and direct our enforcement attention immediately. JBW also works with over 70 councils enabling the cross reverencing of data and the location of debtors. 

JBW provides bailiff enforcement services specifically for the enforcement of Non Domestic Rates for all clients where Council Tax recovery is performed too.
