Unpaid bills, a problematic situation for companies
An invoice is said to beoverdue when it is not paid on time. One French SME in two is a victim of late payment. As a result, one company in five declares over 5% of its sales as unpaid. This recurring problem exists in all types of company (craftsmen, shopkeepers, self-employed professionals, farmers, auto-entrepreneurs, very small businesses, SMEs, etc.), and is a source of enormous frustration.
Several solutions for non-litigious collection of unpaid invoices
Many companies don't know how to deal with unpaid invoices. And yet, collecting these invoices is vital to a company's health. Most managers don't know where to turn. And yet, there are several solutions available to them for the collection of unpaid invoices: specialized companies, lawyers, bailiffs, collection software... However, many are discouraged by solutions that are too expensive and too complicated, or by the fear of losing the good relationship with their customer. Today's entrepreneur is looking for an efficient, fast and cost-effective solution.
What are the best ways to collect your receivables?
The law sets the payment term at 30 days (following the date of receipt of goods or performance of service) when nothing has been agreed by the parties. Otherwise, payment must not exceed 60 days from the date of invoice.
If the debtor has not paid on time, a plan of action must be put in place immediately. Even for small amounts, the first thing to do is to contact the debtor to set the record straight. Is it a late payment? A simple oversight? A minor setback?
If your reminders for late payment go unanswered, you are unfortunately the victim of a payment default, which you need to settle as quickly as possible to keep your cash flow healthy. It's worth noting that, in the event of non-payment, almost 9 out of 10 debtor companies are actually solvent (source: FIGEC.) If attempts to contact your debtor are unsuccessful, there is the solution of online debt collection.
GCollect, the democratization of unpaid invoice collection
Debt collection is undergoing a digital revolution. GCollect is the first and only marketplace that helps companies solve their unpaid receivables problems by offering them the most competitive rates (collection fees charged by service providers once they have collected an unpaid receivable). The platform gives you a clear and simple view of the collection process, and makes your life easier by sparing you the hassle of taking steps to recover the fruits of your labor.
The GCollect principle
GCollect is the first independent platform for direct contact with amicable debt collection professionals. One of our main objectives is to preserve the business relationship by avoiding legal proceedings as far as possible. Relocating the reminder is often enough to recover the unpaid amount. It should be noted that 90% of amounts recovered by collection professionals are amicable (source FIGEC).
These professionals are the only ones authorized to go out into the field to negotiate payment of overdue invoices. All companies have to do is enter their SIREN number and the main elements concerning their unpaid invoice on the platform, and the rest is done thanks to the algorithms developed by GCollect. A service like this doesn't exist anywhere else.
The customer decides the price
Many companies with small receivables give up on outsourcing the collection of their outstanding debts. GCollect is a marketplace. It enables you to get the best rates from the pros. It's the customers who decide the amount of the collection fee charged by the professional: the result is a competitive collection fee. It's risk-free, since the fee is only payable if the collection is successful.

GCOLLECT is not a collection company, it's a facilitator. Its aim is to democratize the collection of unpaid invoices. The platform is aimed at all companies, whatever their size or the amount of their debt.
The process is completely transparent: a rating and assessment system guarantees the efficiency of collection service providers.
