Coface launches research on payment terms and habits of companies in Latin America

Coface, a global leader in credit insurance and risk management, announces the start of LATAM 2025 Survey on Payments and Defaults, which will gather insights from companies of different sizes and sectors on average payment terms, delays and the use of financial protection tools.

The research is a comprehensive study that will analyze the financial practices of companies throughout Latin America, with a focus on Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru. The survey portrays how companies structure their credit policies, manage payment terms, address defaults, and adopt financial solutions to protect their results and sustain growth. 

Furthermore, the study identifies similarities and differences across countries and sectors, offering valuable comparative insights for executives making strategic decisions.

By participating, companies will have priority access to an exclusive report, featuring regional benchmarks and in-depth insights into trends that directly impact cash flow, financial health, and organizational resilience. This is a unique opportunity to understand your market positioning, anticipate emerging risks, and explore relevant opportunities. 

Conducted annually, the study is one of the main references for monitoring the evolution of credit habits in the region, offering a comprehensive overview of the factors that influence companies' cash flow and financial health. In the latest edition, the survey gathered hundreds of responses from companies in several countries, revealing default trends and the growing interest in solutions such as credit insurance.

With this initiative, Coface reinforces its role as a strategic partner in building the future of companies, focusing on their financial sustainability and growth.

The survey will be open during the months of September and October, and the consolidated results will be presented in November, at an exclusive event for journalists and companies. 

"Our goal is to capture signs of change in the payment behavior of Latin American companies and offer insights that help managers anticipate risks. In a scenario of uncertainty, quality information becomes even more essential," says Isabelle Heude, Commercial and Operations Director.

Coface emphasizes that company participation is essential to enrich the analysis. The questionnaire can be accessed at the following link: Latam Payment Survey 2025 | Coface.
