✓ No cure, no pay — if the amicable process fails, you pay nothing.
Step 1 — Prevention
What can you try yourself first?
Canada differs from Belgium in many ways — including how unpaid invoices are collected. Still, some universal points apply worldwide and you can check those yourself first.
In advance
Preventive measures
- Collect information about your debtor: contact details, credit report, …
- Have the necessary documentation (purchase order, delivery note, contract, email), preferably aligned with the debtor’s country.
- Put a watertight contract in place and make sure your terms and conditions are solid.
- Invoice as soon as possible and send invoices digitally as well.
After due date
When the payment date has passed
- Call the debtor and prepare that conversation well.
- Send written reminders promptly and regularly.
- Answer disputes quickly to defuse them.
Step 2 — Amicable process

If the debtor does not respond to your own steps, it is wise to bring in a collection agency. A collection partner speeds up recovery without damaging the customer relationship.
