MCBs & Promo Charges
Manufacturer chargebacks for promotions you never approved, at rates you never agreed to, on volume that doesn't reconcile.
Home / Deduction Recovery
Thousands won back in deduction disputes — and counting. Distributor deductions are the quietest leak in CPG: line items on statements most founders never read, for charges nobody agreed to. We read every line. Then we dispute the wrong ones.

Deduction recovery works as a standalone engagement — no tier, no retainer, no commitment beyond this. We're paid a share of what we win back, quoted plainly in your free audit before anything starts. Nothing recovered, nothing owed. It's the lowest-risk way to watch ScalePoint work on your business — and if you like what you see, LaunchPad and Growth will still be here.
The Quiet Leak
Every distributor check arrives smaller than the invoice. The difference is deductions — some legitimate, many not. At 3–10% of gross sales, unchecked deductions can erase an emerging brand's entire margin. And the burden of proof sits on you.
Manufacturer chargebacks for promotions you never approved, at rates you never agreed to, on volume that doesn't reconcile.
Product written off without documentation — no photos, no counts, no chance to verify. Deducted anyway.
Claimed short shipments that your BOL contradicts, and fill-rate fines on POs you shipped complete.
The same deduction taken twice. Another brand's charge on your statement. It happens more than anyone admits.
How Recovery Works
We pull your deduction history and read every line — the work nobody inside a lean brand has time to do.
Every charge gets checked against your distributor agreement, promo calendar, BOLs, and PO history. Valid charges stay. Invalid ones get flagged.
Disputes filed through the distributor's own process, with the paper trail attached. Then we follow up until the credit lands.
