Private and Business Debt Collection in Brazil

Debt Collection in Brazil

For many UK based businesses, it can often seem impossible to collect a debt from a client in Brazil. There are many factors that must be taken into account, such as the time difference, language barrier and local laws & customs.

Whilst this may be a challenge for businesses to resolve themselves, a professional debt collection service is often the best answer.

International debt recovery, such as debt collection in Brazil, is significantly more achievable for an expert. With in-depth knowledge, expertise and a proven history of success, debt collection agencies provide the most beneficial resolution.

Are you owed money from a client in Brazil? Have you supplied goods and services to someone in Brazil who has not paid? If so, Federal Management’s team of expert debt collectors can recover your funds.

Recovering Debt in Brazil – Trading Overseas

Brazil is one of the UK’s best trading partners. In 2020, there was $2.22 billion worth of exports sent from the UK to Brazil. Many of the goods traded included machinery, pharmaceutical, chemical and vehicle products.

With this high level of trade from several industry sectors, the potential for payment issues and debt will naturally rise.

Naturally, this can cause many problems for those businesses affected. As well as the frustration and stress caused, it can affect a company’s cash flow. Maintaining a steady income is critical to success.

Options for Resolving Debt Collection in Brazil

When the issue of debt collection in Brazil arises, many business owners are unsure how to proceed. In-house credit control teams often lack the enforcement options and expertise for recovering overseas debt.

Having expert knowledge of another country’s legal and cultural processes regarding debt recovery is crucial to success. For example, there is a limitation period on debt recovery in Brazil that can vary depending on the debt but is most often set at 5 years. As well as this, businesses in Brazil will usually operate on different payment terms to those in the UK.

There are many options for recovering a debt from overseas, but many can often be costly. This is in terms of both time and money. An example of this could be a debt recovery solicitor.

Whilst this is historically a common choice for many businesses, it can become expensive. In some cases, the debt may be written off entirely, as the cost of a collection can add up.

Instead, it is increasingly common and more beneficial to instruct a professional debt collection agency. An agency can deliver prompt, professional services at a low cost. This helps the maximum number of UK businesses with debt collection in Brazil.
