What global collection does

Global Collection CVBA is a Belgian cooperative company headquartered in Hamme that provides credit management and debt collection services to B2B clients in Belgium. The firm serves Belgian businesses across the full receivables lifecycle, offering debtor management analysis, outsourcing of payment follow-up, amicable collection on a 'no cure no pay' basis, judicial collection via a network of bailiffs and attorneys, international collection across EER countries through local partners, doubtful debt management, insolvency services, legal advice, drafting of general terms and conditions, and consultancy. The company is officially recognized by the Belgian Federal Public Service Economy under recognition number 219920 and operates under the law of 20/12/2002 governing amicable collection of consumer debts.

Underpinning the service delivery is a proprietary software platform branded CollectOnline, which exposes a client portal for real-time case status, dossier reporting, and debtor portfolio monitoring, and a separate debtor portal allowing individuals or businesses to consult their personal file. The firm monetizes through a mix of revenue mechanics: per-file transaction fees for collection (with no upfront cost to clients on amicable cases), lump-sum fees for credit management analysis audits, monthly license fees plus per-action charges for ongoing debtor management outsourcing, and hourly billing for consultancy and legal advisory work.

Go-to-market is sales-led and trust-based, relying on direct B2B relationships, multilingual website presence in Dutch, French, and English, and the self-service portals to reduce friction for both clients and debtors. International cross-border work is delivered through a partner network of local collection agencies in other EER jurisdictions rather than direct subsidiaries. The firm is privately held, has no disclosed funding rounds, and operates with a stated headcount of 1–10 employees.

Revenue model

1. Collection Services (Amicable and Judicial): Collection services are invoiced on a per-file basis. For amicable collection, the company works on a 'no cure no pay' basis - clients only pay if collection is successful. When collection is successful, clients receive both the invoice amount and late payment interests, with no cost to the client.
2. Debtor Management Analysis: Lump sum/forfaitary fee for comprehensive analysis and audit of client's credit management processes
3. Debtor Management Follow-up: Monthly license fee plus amount per action taken for ongoing debtor management and payment follow-up services
4. Consultancy Services: Hourly-based consulting services for credit management implementation, staff training, and on-site assistance
