Trading internationally opens up growth. It also opens up new ways for payment to go wrong. Different legal systems, languages and enforcement routes mean a debt that would be routine in the UK can stall once your customer is abroad.
Imed Bouzamita, Overseas Agent Collections Manager at STA International, a debt recovery agency, will explain why recovering debt across borders is harder and where it tends to get stuck. The session covers how to reduce the risk before you start trading with an overseas customer, and the practical routes to recovery when one stops paying.
It's for anyone who sells to customers outside the UK, or is about to. You'll leave knowing what to put in place before you trade, and what your options are if an overseas account stops paying.
