A recovery assessment report answers one question before any recovery work begins: is this claim worth pursuing against this debtor, in this jurisdiction, on these documents. Creditors commission it when an invoice is overdue, the contract is silent on enforcement, and the cost of finding out has to stay smaller than the cost of guessing wrong.
The report is built on the file the creditor already holds, read against the debtor's apparent position. Where the claim runs against a counterparty abroad, we frame the assessment inside the wider practice of international debt recovery, so the recommendation reflects the route that is actually available, not a generic one.
The report has a defined edge. Clients who understand that edge do not later dispute what they received.
The debtor description draws on legal research and corporate intelligence from public and licensed sources: registers of companies, official filings, court dockets where public, and commercial databases available under licence. Where the jurisdiction regulates any step of collection, that step is carried out through a registered provider in that country rather than by SOLUTIO directly, consistent with the local pre-legal collection practice we run alongside recovery assessment.
We do not locate individuals and we do not run surveillance of any kind. The sources are corporate and public, not personal.
Intake starts with the documents the creditor already has: the contract, the invoice trail, and anything sent to the debtor so far. We confirm the jurisdiction and identify which route applies before any research begins, since the answer changes what needs checking. A parallel debtor solvency check feeds into the same report rather than running as a separate product, so the client receives one document, one recommendation, and one call to walk through it.
The client decides at one point only: whether to proceed to a mandate once the report is delivered. Nothing commits the client before that point.
The fee paid for the report is credited in full against professional fees if a mandate follows, within a window agreed at the time of instruction. If the recommendation is to decline or hold, the client keeps the report and owes nothing further. The fee basis for any mandate that follows is agreed before instruction, in writing, not as a share of whatever is eventually recovered.
It tells you whether the debtor's apparent standing and the available route justify the cost of pursuing the claim. Most creditors know the invoice is unpaid; the report tests whether recovery is realistic before money is spent finding out.
Turnaround depends on how much of the debtor's jurisdiction and standing needs checking, and on how complete the document file already is. We confirm a delivery point at intake, once the file is reviewed.
No. The report fee is credited against the mandate fee if a mandate opens within the agreed window. If the report recommends against proceeding, the fee stands alone and nothing further is owed.
A claim that looks straightforward from the invoice can turn on a jurisdiction, a document gap, or a debtor position that only shows up once someone checks. The cost of finding that out late is higher than the cost of finding it out first. What follows from here is a decision about the route, made before that route is chosen.
