Benefits of choosing our Debt Collection solutions in Switzerland and abroad

Delayed or missing payments can greatly disrupt your cash flow and impact your business as a whole.

This is where a strong partner offering global debt collection services becomes exceptionally valuable.

Patricia J. , Global Sales Director in Pharmaceutical industry

How do I demand that my key client settles their invoices without putting too much strain on our business relationship that keeps my company afloat? Coface knows how to do just that, leaving me free to discuss new projects with the client.

Johan H., small business owner in Retail sector

My client in Vietnam still hadn’t settled his invoice after 8 months even though they’d received the goods without a problem. But - thanks to Coface - I was indemnified in 2 weeks.

Hassan B., CFO in textile sector

A number of clients weren’t honouring big invoices that were pending payment. It was taking up too much time and too much tracking with very little return. Thanks to Coface, I’ve now got more peace of mind, it’s more efficient and I’ve got better liquidity.
