Business debt is on the way lower end of that .2-.10 range, as debt collectors assume corps can simply dissolve or close shop and walk away (unless there's personal guarantees on the stuff). If you're representing an LLC or Inc., you should be able to go into the .10-.15 settlement range.
We never bought or even tried to collect business debt. You've very limited leverage to press debtors.
