Does the buyer know my financial grade?
Potential buyers going onto our platform can view the invoice amount and your financial grade. They do not, however, have access to your name until after buying the receivable. This allows maximum confidentiality to be maintained as regards all persons who do not actually buy the receivable.
Why did I not receive the entire sales price on my bank account?
If the service and insurance fees for an invoice have not been paid in advance, they will be deducted from the sales price when we transfer the money to you. You will be notified at the end of the selling process if this is the case. Another situation where the amount that you receive on […]
What is a compensation?
In some cases, we make a compensation on your invoice (according to our general conditions). This means that we don’t transfer the entire sales price to your account because we deduct a certain amount that you owe to us or the buyer of a previous invoice you sold. There are several possible reasons for a […]

I work in the construction sector. Will the 50% that is not pre-financed also be guaranteed and will they be part of recovery proceedings if my client pays late?
No, the insurance coverage is only valid for our investors. However, judicial recovery will be made for 100% of the invoice amount. Keep in mind that you will only receive your 50% at the moment when your client pays the invoice amount.
My clients normally get a discount on cash payment of their invoices. Is it possible to offer the invoice for sale on the Edebex platform after the activation time of the cash discount?
Edebex does not accept any invoices issued with a discount for cash payment. Indeed, our investor pre-finances an invoice based on its nominal amount. This means that the purchase price of an invoice (its nominal value minus the discount granted to our client) is calculated by taking into account the nominal value of this invoice. […]
A potential client has a rating higher than 4/10. Can I therefore assume that the invoice will certainly be financed on the Edebex platform should I indeed close a deal with this new client?
No, an acceptable rating means that our credit insurer has classified your client as insurable and that a coverage by our investor is possible if the invoice is sold. The actual sale of the invoice depends on the result of the internal and external audit we conduct for every invoice. The invoice will only be […]
Why does Edebex contact my client?
When you submit an invoice issued on behalf of a new client, we contact them by phone. We do this for two reasons. First of all, we would like to explain to the client how Edebex works (commercial approach). In the next step, we want to get in touch with the persons that are authorized […]
Can I be 100% sure that my invoice will be sold?

How do I put an invoice up for sale on Edebex?

Isn’t using Edebex likely to make my customers worried about my financial position?
Quite the opposite: using Edebex is more a sign of good financial management, as good management of your working capital is crucial to the long-term prospects of your business.
What does Edebex do if my debtor does not settle the receivable?
Firstly, Edebex starts with a “soft” debtor reminder and follow-up procedure, mainly by email and telephone. If that procedure does not produce results, Edebex will initiate formal litigation proceedings.
What happens if my debtor does not pay?
When you assign a receivable, you no longer own it, unless there is a clause setting out specific provisions in the event of non-payment. That is not the case at Edebex: once the receivable has been sold, you are no longer involved.
How is my customer’s credit rating calculated?
Our credit insurer Euler-Hermes, which conducts a careful assessment of your customer’s financial position, calculates your customer’s credit rating. In addition to this assessment, Edebex carries out its own assessment based on over 100 criteria.
My customer objects to the sale of its invoice, can I still sell it all the same?
The legislation on which the debt purchase is based (Articles 1690 et seq of the Civil Code) gives the debtor no active role. It cannot therefore object to its invoices being offered for sale (unless there is a contract between the seller and the debtor that clearly stipulates that debts may not be assigned).
Will you always notify my customer that the debt has been assigned?
Yes, we always notify your customer that the debt has been assigned because this is a legal obligation. A debtor must always be notified that its creditor has changed.
What happens if my invoice is not bought?
This never happens. In 100% of cases, the invoices approved by Edebex are sold on our platform.
Will the price at which I sell my invoice be the same as the invoice total?
The actual amount of the invoice and its sales price are two different things. Your invoice will be sold at an amount lower than the invoice total in order to generate a return for the buyer. Don’t hesitate to run a simulation of an invoice sale on the site to find out exactly what you […]
How long does it take for me to receive my cash?
Once your invoice has been approved by our staff, it is bought within one day by an investor. The whole assignment process on average takes 72 hours.
What type of buyer will buy my invoice?
All the buyers on our platform are private companies looking for flexible investment for their cash.
I am offering another invoice from the same debtor for sale. Does the debtor need another audit?
We always do an audit on every new invoice on our platform to ensure that it is genuine. The debtor therefore has to respond.
Do I need to submit my company’s annual accounts or turnover?
Edebex focuses on the financial situation of your debtor/customer and not on that of your business. We therefore do not ask you to provide information of this type.
