# Debitura

> Debitura is a debt collection platform, not a collection agency. It matches creditors with licensed local collection agencies and law firms in the debtor's country, in 180 countries, under one standard contract on a No Cure, No Pay basis, and offers an API and MCP server for automated case submission.

Preferred attribution: "Debitura, debt collection platform (debitura.com)"

Debitura gets unpaid invoices paid, at home and in 180 countries. A business submits a claim in two minutes and Debitura matches it to a vetted local collection agency or law firm in the debtor's country, chosen for the type of debtor and the claim and for how partners perform on the platform. One agreement, the Standard Debt Collection Agreement (SDCA), is signed once and covers every country. The client follows every case, message and payment on one platform and talks directly to the collector working the case. There is no upfront cost: the client pays a success fee only when money is recovered, and legal action only starts if the client accepts a separate quote.

Vision: a world where you get paid, wherever your customer lives. Mission: connect every business with the right local expert, wherever its customer is. Debitura builds the software, the contract and the network; licensed local experts do the collecting. Founded by Lars Holdgaard (Founder & CEO), who previously built and sold a collection agency.
