Credit management in France by GEVO |
Credit management in France or
The management of your French cost centre.
The role of this service provision is to do all we can to ensure that your invoices to your French clients are paid on the agreed due date.
The idea is that prevention is by far the best solution to the scourge of unpaid invoices, accounts past due and needs in terms of collection and legal fees.
When they cross borders, foreign companies find themselves faced with a radically different mentality and way of operating from what they are accustomed to with clients in their own country.
The image of the Frenchman with his beret and a baguette under his arm is totally outdated.
French society, government offices and businesses operate according to traditions, rites and customs that may be totally hermetic to foreigners.
This is the case, among others, with the means of payment used.
The cheque, for example: still today, billions of cheques are made out each year by French companies and individuals to pay their bills.
It is the role of Gevo Credit Management to help you to oil the wheels a little and see to it that your clients pay all of their invoices on time.
