Collectia Group

Collectia is a modern IT company specializing in debt recovery. With more than 150 years of experience, we utilize leading technologies, legal counselors, and debt advisors to help companies recover their unpaid invoices.

Our philosophy is that unpaid bills are usually due to an oversight or mistake. Therefore, everyone deserves fair and respectful treatment. By helping our clients through professional, respectful, and intelligent customer management, we optimize our client’s cash flows and minimize the financial loss on bad payers while maintaining a good relationship between them and their customers.

As a Collectia client, you get access to our full-service debt collection solution. This means that we offer handling of everything in the field of debtor management, such as invoices, reminders, collection warnings, administration of payment agreements, collection service, and legal processing. In addition, we also offer Qatchr, our credit rating tool, to credit check and monitor the clients’ customers and suppliers to ensure safe and profitable business.

Collectia is owned by Silverfleet Capital, a leading private equity firm with more than 30 years of investment experience in medium-sized European companies. Since 2016, Collectia has been on an ambitious expansion journey consisting of several acquisitions in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, and Denmark.

Alongside the journey, we have launched the project ‘Going Green’ to create a greener Collectia as we grow. Acting responsibly toward clients, their customers, our employees, the environment, and society is deeply embedded in our organizational culture. It brings value to our business and our fellow human beings.
