Debt Collection in Singapore

Debt Collection in Singapore

Federal Management has helped UK businesses recover money from non-paying clients in Singapore since our opening in 2005.

International debt collection is typically more complex when compared to collecting debts locally. It is common for businesses to attempt collection activities themselves. This involves credit management and customer service teams performing the role of debt collector.

This is normally unsuccessful, as there are few enforcement options and they lack the specialist knowledge needed for overseas debt collection.

Instead, it is better to instruct the services of a professional debt collection company. They possess the skills, expertise and knowledge that is required to recover a debt from foreign countries.

Is your business owed money from a client in Singapore? Have you provided goods or services only to be refused payment? Federal Management’s proven history of successful debt collection in Singapore can recover what you are owed.

Collecting Debt in Singapore

Singapore has a long history of trade with the United Kingdom. This continues today, as the 2 nations share a good relationship that helps each other to prosper.

In 2020, the UK exported $5.63 billion worth of goods to Singapore. This high level of trade will, unfortunately, provide a good opportunity for debt to occur. When it does, the affected business must act as soon as possible to reduce any issues to its cash flow.

Recovering the money is the main objective, but choosing the wrong solution in a hurry can create different issues. Ideally, the case could be resolved amicably with the money being recovered. This would also allow your business to benefit from future opportunities with the client.

Federal Management’s proven international debt collection services are the best choice for all debt collection in Singapore cases.

Debt Collection in Singapore – Knowledge and Expertise

It is vital to understand foreign laws and customs when performing international debt collection enforcement. Without this, it is extremely difficult or even impossible to recover your money. The agency you choose must have a proven history of recovering international debt.

Singapore has its own set of laws and rules with regard to international debt. For example, there is a 6 year limitation period on debt enforcement. This can be extended for up to 12 years with a judgment, which begins when it is obtained.

Also, there are many other factors that contribute to a successful collection. There are 4 main languages spoken which may present an issue to non-English speakers when attempting to recover a debt. Cultural differences can also contribute to a debt recovery case.

You must have expert knowledge of these customers and local laws before undertaking any solution for debt collection in Singapore.
