Question 1

What does a debtor investigation involve for B2B cases?

Accepted Answer

Our debtor investigation (asset trace) compiles a current picture of the debtor’s corporate structure, trading activity, banking and payment behaviour, real property, movable assets, and known liabilities. We combine official registry checks, credit bureau data, litigation records, media and sanctions screening, director/shareholder links, and local field intelligence from vetted partners in 70+ countries.

Question 2

How does an investigation improve collection results without going to court?

Accepted Answer

Evidence of solvency and concrete asset locations strengthens leverage in amicable negotiations and prompts payment plans that stick. Where legal escalation is required, the report guides the optimal jurisdiction, remedies, and enforcement path, reducing costs and timelines.

Question 3

How long do international debtor investigations take and what will I receive?

Accepted Answer

Standard cross-border investigations typically complete in 7–15 working days, depending on jurisdiction and depth requested. You receive a written report with sourced findings, a risk and recoverability assessment, and next-step recommendations tailored to the country and debt profile.

Question 4

Are your investigations compliant with GDPR and local privacy laws?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We only use lawful sources and methods, applying GDPR principles for EU subjects and aligning with applicable local data protection statutes. Sensitive data is minimised, securely handled, and used strictly for the legitimate interest of debt recovery.

Question 5

What do debtor investigations cost and is there a no win, no fee option?

Accepted Answer

When an investigation forms part of our amicable collection workflow, our no win, no fee model generally applies to the collection phase. For standalone asset traces or enhanced fieldwork, we provide a fixed quotation upfront after a free same-day assessment so you have full cost visibility.
