— The 3 documents that fail in court

Your note, invoice or agreement may not hold when you try to collect.

90% of executive proceedings fail because the negotiable instrument doesn’t meet the requirements of art. 621 of the Colombian Code of Commerce. We help you not be in that 90%.

Commercial promissory note

In negotiable instruments review, the promissory note is king: 80% of your collections rely on it if it’s properly drafted.

Compliance with art. 709 Code of Commerce
Signature, date, amount and place verified
Default interest clause

Trade invoice

The one that fails most often in court. Without express acceptance by the buyer, it doesn’t work for judicial collection.

Express or tacit acceptance verified
Compliance with art. 772 Code of Commerce
Endorsement if you sell to a factor

Contracts and private agreements

A well-drafted private agreement between the parties can have executive merit when it’s time to collect.

Solid payment and default clauses
Signatures from the parties verified
Executive merit for direct collection
