We recover business debts in most countries through local partners. In Europe, we have dedicated guides to debt collection in Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Jersey, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and Turkey. For everywhere else in Europe, see debt collection across Europe. If your debtor's country is not listed, contact the agency team for a free claim review.
To collect an international debt, we need a copy of the contract, agreement or order and copy invoices in the correct legal name of your debtor along with their contact details.
Our approach to international debt recovery is "no collection, no commission", but there may be collection costs if your claim is complex. That's why it's important to state that we don't have a one-size-fits-all approach to pricing. The fee payable on successful recovery varies depending on the age of the invoices, amount outstanding and general case specifics.

Safe Collections uses local agents to collect international debts, so you don't need to hire a lawyer in the debtor's country. You instruct us, and the local agent progresses your claim. If they recommend any legal routes, we will always get your explicit approval.
We start by reviewing your claim and the paperwork: the contract or order, the invoices, and the debtor's correct legal name. A local partner in the debtor's country then contacts them in their own language, under local rules. Most debts are paid at this stage. If the debtor still refuses, we explain the legal options in that country and their likely cost, and you decide whether to go ahead.
Yes. A business customer abroad still owes you the money, and most countries give creditors a route to recover it. We collect business debts in most countries through local agents and legal partners. The main requirements are a debt that is not disputed and the documents that prove it. Contact us for a free claim review.
Yes, and it depends on the debtor's country. Also, some countries restart the clock when you send a written demand, and others do not. In the USA the limit varies by state; see our statute of limitations by state guide. Whatever the country, acting early keeps more options open.
