Europe is facing a surge in bankruptcies: Are your clients in Spain or the EU at risk?

A surge you can’t afford to ignore

New data from the Dun & Bradstreet Global Bankruptcy Report 2025 reveals a troubling reality:
Europe is facing a new wave of insolvencies, and many companies are defaulting on payments months before filing officially.

The numbers speak for themselves:

  • Spain: +25.7% increase in business bankruptcies vs. 2023 (highest since 2013)
  • France: 67,830 insolvencies – a 12-year high
  • Germany: +21.9% increase in insolvencies
  • Italy: +19.8% rise in bankruptcies

📌 Key Insight: In most cases, creditors lose their chance to recover anything once insolvency is officially declared.

🟠 “Most debtors stop paying months before they file. By then, it’s often too late to act.” — CREDIT BACK Recovery Team

Red flags: Is your european customer about to default?

If your clients in Spain or the EU are:

  • Delaying or partially paying invoices
  • Giving vague excuses or claiming “internal delays”
  • Changing contacts or becoming unreachable
  • Modifying payment terms without notice
  • Avoiding communication altogether

…there’s a strong chance they may be heading toward insolvency.

Once a client enters concurso de acreedores (Spain’s insolvency procedure), your recovery options become limited, slow, and costly — especially for international creditors.

How to collect unpaid invoices in Europe before it’s too late

At CREDIT BACK, we specialize in international B2B debt recovery, with a strong focus on Spain, the EU and the rest of the world.

We’re not a law firm. We’re your strategic recovery partner.
That means faster execution, clear communication, and no upfront fees.

We act like your Credit Control Team in Europe

We work with:

  • Exporters and international distributors

Don’t wait until it’s too late

Many international businesses wait until the debt is already unrecoverable.
By then, the debtor is legally protected — and you’ve lost leverage.

💬 “If most of our international clients had contacted us earlier, they would have recovered everything.”

Even if your accounting team has written off the invoice — there may still be a window of opportunity.

  • No risk
  • No upfront fees
