Conference of the Polish-Asian Chamber of Commerce - Debt Collection for Businesses

Debt Collection for Businesses

Issues connected with the recovery of debt from business partners were the focus of GPM Vindexus’ presentation at the Conference of the Polish-Asian Chamber of Commerce. The event took place on 22 March this year in Warsaw and featured a training for entrepreneurs. Institutional and financial market offer for businesses and entrepreneurs - was the motto of the conference. The event was attended  by companies  with the participation  of Chinese, Vietnamese or Korean capital, interested in cooperation with Poland. GPM Vindexus was a guest of this conference, next to such organisations as the BGK bank or the KUKE credit insurance company.


Unfortunately, while looking for new growth opportunities, Polish entrepreneurs come across unreliable partners – says attorney Dariusz Derbich, Chief Legal Officer at GPM Vindexus, author of the presentation. A business partner’s failure to pay for the services or goods delivered to them often puts financial liquidity of companies at a risk and may even lead to bankruptcy. To avoid such situations, it is crucial that companies are fully aware of the financial situation of their business partner, adequately draft their contracts and monitor their partner’s solvency during the term of such contracts. It is not always possible to insure commercial transactions. Moreover, taking into account the substantial scale of defaults and the non-payment of both transaction prices and entire contractual amounts, entrepreneurs should consider using services of professional debt collection companies. The efficient approach taken by these companies helps to save the time and costs of pursuing payments of debt and increase the likelihood of recovery of the agreed amount.

In addition to a standard presentation of the company and its activities, the GPM Vindexus’s presentation highlighted the issued related to the collection of debt arising from  contracts  concluded  by  companies  from  different    countries  (problems with   the jurisdiction,  differing  legal  systems,  different  institutions  responsible  for forced recovery of debt).

Participation in this kind of events is important for the company’s growth, both short- and long-term – says attorney Agnieszka Komoszka, Commercial Director at  GPM  Vindexus. It is important short-term  because  acquiring  business  partners  in  new market sectors diversifies our debt portfolio. At this moment, it is  to a large extent dominated  by   debt  from  banks and telecommunications  companies    . On the other hand, when thinking about long-term growth of the company, liaising with companies which conduct their business abroad may prove to be crucial – adds Agnieszka Komoszka.
