Wherever trade occurs on credit there is the risk of late payment or even non-payment. Poor payment behaviour coupled with the diversity and complexity of country specific debt collections procedures, legislation and cultural approaches can be challenging for companies worldwide. As more than 35.1% of the foreign B2B sales in Western Europe were reported to have been made on credit, it is inevitable that some collection cases will end up being processed in court or even filed via insolvency proceedings.

Rudi De Greve, Global Operations Director at Atradius Collections stated: "No business is immune to the risks associated with international trade or poor payment behaviour. The International Debt Collections Handbook consists of information gathered by our local experienced collectors and lawyers, making it a trusted debt collections navigator tool."

A crucial support tool for companies 

Since its launch in 2008, the International Debt Collections Handbook has quickly established itself as a critical support tool for collection decisions in foreign countries. Having knowledge of amicable collections and the country-specific legal phases surrounding collections is vital for survival in a global economy.

When it comes to legal proceedings, there are considerable variations from one country to another. The handbook will prove especially useful to organisations lacking in-house resources in international collections or credit management. This in-depth information can help businesses make better decisions and take necessary measures beforehand, to minimise potential future risk.
