Our members primarily work as agents for various principals, including banks, financiers, lawyers, insurers, and the business community. Depending on the state regulations, most of our members hold a commercial agent/private inquiry agent license or an equivalent qualification.

At the Institute of Mercantile Agents, we hold our members to the highest standards. Membership requires applicants to abide by our Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics, which promote recognized professional and ethical practices.

Our collectors specialize in demanding payment for overdue debts, often based on formal contracts. They engage in dialogue with individual and corporate debtors to achieve resolution of delinquent accounts, whether through full or partial recovery or by determining that the debtor does not have the means to pay.

Our investigators have the expertise to inquire into and obtain information about the personal character or actions of individuals, as well as the nature of their businesses or occupations.

Process servers play a crucial role in delivering court-issued processes for various reasons, including debt recovery, family law proceedings, and civil and criminal litigation. They ensure strict adherence to the rules of the issuing court.

Repossession agents act on behalf of principals to seek payment of arrears or recover the security for a loan facility, such as cars or motorcycles, as outlined in formal contracts like leases, bills of sale, or hire purchase agreements.

At the Institute of Mercantile Agents Ltd, we are committed to upholding the highest professional and ethical standards in the industry. Join us in our mission to excel in the field of debt recovery, investigation, process serving, and repossession services.
