I am starting a home-based business. What I am doing is collections for business. I am looking to help business collect money due to them instead of hiring a new employee, paying a lawyer or collection companies heafty fees. My work is based on performance only. My question is this, how do you advertise for something like this? Also, if anyone has any suggestions with experience or setting something like this up, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How are you different from a collection company/agency?

Well to advertise you need to anaylize your company, do a SWOT and find your strengths and what makes you different. Then you have to let people know you exist. Maybe you can have radio ads, commericals, flyers, etc. Identify your target market and find a way to reach them. You should also have a website laying out your services, who you are, etc.
