Our Company History

Furniture Manufacturers Credit Association (FMCA) is a member-owned association composed of the top home furnishings and accessories suppliers. Established in 1961 by Henry Wallace Taylor, FMCA grew out of a recognized need for the exchange of credit information directly rather than through the services of third party organizations. Throughout the decades, FMCA has evolved into a leader in the home furnishings and accessories credit industry. FMCA is a comprehensive resource for credit professionals. Today, FMCA captures the essence of what it means to be part of a professional community. This means not only valuable tools but a community of like-minded professionals at your fingertips to help members be more successful.

What We Do

Our Members submit monthly accounts receivable trade data files to FMCA which are processed and loaded into our databases to provide vital historical trade history on furniture retail dealers and designers to our members in the form of our FMCA Credit Interchange Reports. We are also a collection agency of which is owned by our members. Along with the tools of Credit Interchange Reporting and Claims & Collections, FMCA’s “Member Helping Member” foundation is further enhanced with our Interchange Meetings, Community Networking, and Education opportunities which help to form and nourish relationships with industry peers, to keep members informed of the latest industry news and events, as well as facilitating the exchange of essential information.

"The collection services are one of the industry's best! The recoveries are great, the rates are reasonable, and the service provided is professional. I worked for a previous company that required that I spread my placements among a few different agencies. It did not take long for me to show executive management what an unwise decision that was based on actual dollars recovered and fees charged!”
AR & Credit Director
“Their collection staff has helped us collect those accounts that have been difficult and time-consuming for my staff to collect. FMCA also provided valuable educational sessions at a fraction of the cost of other providers of similar information. In short, FMCA has helped me grow as a credit manager to become much more effective over the years that I would have otherwise.”
Credit Manager
"The FMCA Collection Department is the perfect agency to use for your collection accounts. They respond quickly and professionally. When we use our own agency, all members are aware of the actions taken. What better tool to use than our own?"
Director of Credit
"I have trusted FMCA to assist me with risk management for my company for over 20 years and they have never let me down"

“FMCA is operated by Credit Professionals who understand the Information, Services, and Education that credit managers really need. It is by far the first and most reliable source that I have for making day-to-day credit decisions.”
Credit Manager
“I love the fact that I can always depend on FMCA’s Staff to be extremely helpful, informative, and professional. Being part of FMCA has been a game changer in the way I manager credit risk and collect receivables.”
Wendy TesterDirector of Credit - Lee Industries
“The new 10 Day Final Demand is awesome. It really gets the attention of the customer. I would say within the first few hours, if not sooner, once the email goes out to them we get a response. I would recommend this service to anyone that is trying to collect an older debt and have exhausted all other avenues. I am well pleased with this and will continue using this feature going forward. In my words this is awesome! “
Rhonda TravisCredit Manager - Vanguard Furniture
"Some collection agencies you can't trust, but FMCA has more trust because it is member-owned."
