Happy Wednesday from your Chief Shergroupie!

Last week, something happened on our BSC team call that perfectly captures a problem destroying UK business cash flow.

A landlord called us. He’d won his case. The court ordered his tenant to pay £5,000 in arrears. That was three months ago. Since then? Nothing. No payment. No enforcement. Just mounting frustration and legal fees.

And he’s not alone. During that single call, we also heard from:

• A demolition firm sitting on £12,000 in unpaid invoices

• A solicitor with possession orders gathering dust

• Multiple businesses who’d won CCJs but couldn’t collect a penny

One client summed it up perfectly: “We’re looking for services that help us enforce CCJs and reduce our losses to fraud.”

That statement cuts to the heart of the problem. Businesses need help enforcing judgments they’ve already won — while also preventing future fraud. Because while you’re waiting to collect yesterday’s wins, tomorrow’s fraudsters are already planning their next move.

Here’s the truth: the gap between winning in court and getting paid isn’t a pause — it’s a financial haemorrhage. Every day you wait, debtors move assets, change addresses, and declare bankruptcy.

So, let me ask you directly: how much is “waiting for the right moment” costing your business?

How Are Businesses Using Shergroup?

One potential client recently asked ChatGPT: “Who should I use for High Court enforcement?” The answer? Shergroup.

They originally called us about a single enforcement case. Their previous provider had been “painfully slow with updates.” Thirty minutes later, they weren’t just getting enforcement help — they’d discovered our real-time portal, post-eviction security, and complete possession management system.

What began as one case became a comprehensive solution covering three properties and ongoing support.

From funeral directors recovering memorial costs to wine merchants chasing restaurant debts, from borough councils managing evictions to recruitment agencies collecting placement fees — every business has unique challenges. The real question is: are you still using yesterday’s solutions for today’s problems?

The Decision That Defines Your Business

Let’s be blunt. Right now, you’re owed money. Maybe it’s £5,000. Maybe £50,000. Maybe more.

You’ve already won the legal battle. The court agrees you’re right. But your bank account doesn’t care about moral victories.

While you’re reading this, your debtors are moving money offshore, declaring insolvency, or simply disappearing. Every hour you wait costs you more than just the debt — it robs you of the chance to grow, invest, and thrive.

Successful businesses don’t wait. They act.

They know that the gap between judgment and payment isn’t inevitable — it’s a choice. And they choose partners who turn paper victories into business victories.
