Overview
When debt recovery needs legal action
The longer a debt stays unpaid, the harder it is to collect. Ukrainian law offers fast procedures for undisputed debts and strong enforcement tools. We start with the debtor's assets in mind, so the decision can actually be collected.
01
A Ukrainian customer has not paid
02
A loan to a person in Ukraine was not returned
03
The debtor ignores your letters
04
You already have a decision but no money

Court order
A fast procedure for undisputed monetary claims based on documents.
