Credit Check & Collection Services

We can offer our clients credit information in the form of a company profile of your business partner, so that you can review their credit history and reliability.

Unfortunately it is not an uncommon occurrence that a client is delayed in paying an invoice, or does not make a payment at all. For these reasons, the AHK Israel has successfully aided companies in the collection of due notices from defaulting debtors for many years.

There is a wide-variety of reasons for why companies default on a payment. In many cases, misunderstandings such as an incorrect contact person, or language difficulties are the cause for non-payment. In other cases, the distance is to blame. Some debtors believe that they are not within the reach of creditors and therefore released from their financial obligations. It can be proven that this is not the case through the numerous cases we have closed in past years.

The efforts of the chamber are based on an out-of-court settlement of debt cases, which present a cost-effect method for companies to collect payment. Lawsuits are quite costly for a variety of reasons and even with a successful verdict, the plaintiff is often responsible for these costs. Our experience has shown that lawsuits are worthwhile only once the claim has reached a sum of $40,000 or more.

Direct Mailing Services

On your behalf, potential business partners are identified and contacted by the means of a first contact letter together with company advertising material which you have provided.

  • Selection of potential business partners based on the ideal partner profile provided by the customer
  • A partner profile list is provided and it has been checked that the entries still exist and are up-to-date 
  • Translation, cultural adaptation and mailing of the contact letter designed by the customer 
  • Follow-up phone calls to all companies on the mailing list

We can translate the following projects for you or find suitable interpreters who will complete the job for you:

  • Websites
  • Financial Reports
  • Newsletters
  • Advertisements
  • Broshures
  • Company Profiles etc.

Legal & Tax Services
