Introduction to collecting debt in Somalia
It can be hard to get paid by people in Somalia when you are owed money. The person who owes the money is called "the debtor" and the person who is owed the money is called "the creditor." If the creditor collects the debt themselves, this is called "first-party collection." If the creditor hires someone else to collect the debt, this is called "third-party collections."
The debt collection process in Somalia
The debt collection process in Somalia usually happens in more than one step.
Our standard process for collecting debt in Somalia is explained in the image below:
1 Upload your claim:
If you want someone to help you get your money back, you need to find a debt collection partner. Upload your claim to their website. Debitura will give you 3 quotes from local partners in the Africa country where your case is happening. This is free - no strings attached.
2 Amicable collection:
The collection process typically begins with sending reminders to your debtor via email, SMS, letter and other ways of communicate in the specific country. The goal is to get the debtor to pay or acknowledge the debt and start a payment plan. We offer a no-cure-no-pay solution for amicable collection, which means you only pay a small success fee if we recover your debt. Amicable collections with Debitura are therefore 100% risk-free!
3 Evaluation:
If you have not received payment from the person you lent money to after trying to work it out, it is time to look at what to do next. We will look at the size of your claim, the chance of getting paid and other factors to help you decide what is the best thing to do. The three most common things people do next are:
A: Surveillance:
If your claim is for less than 2,000 to 5,000 euros, it is not usually worth it to take more legal action. In this case, we recommend "debt surveillance." This means that we will keep trying to talk to the person you owe money to and try to reach an agreement that is fair for both sides.
B: Legal collections:
It is suggested that if you have a big claim, you should start a legal process. The steps you need to take will vary depending on the details of your claim. Usually, it takes around one and a half to two years for the process to be completed.
C: Debt enforcement:
If the person you are trying to get money from has agreed that you are owed money or if there is a court order, you can go to the bailiff's court to try to get your money.
At Debitura, we can help you with all three steps in Somalia.

The economic risk in Somalia
GDP and economic growth are critical drivers for economic risk.
The GDP of Somalia is 7,29 bn. USD (2021), growing by 3,33% per year.
In terms of the size of its economy, Somalia ranks #145 out of 183 countries and has a small economy.
In terms of growth rate, it is ranked #122 out of 183 countries and is therefore considered an excellent growing economy.
GDP per capita is 446 USD, ranking Somalia number #174 out of 183 countries. The result of this is purchasing power of citizens in Somalia is low compared to the rest of the world.
You can see a more throughout picture of GDP and economic growth in Somalia in the table below:
Another critical driver for the economic risk score is the inflation rate and the interest rates. You can see a more throughout picture of monetary key performance indicators in Somalia in the table below:
The business environment risk in Somalia
Economic freedom and rights has a big influence on the business environment risk in a country. The critical facts for Somalia in the table below:
As you can see in the table, the property rights index is 28 in Somalia, which is considered low in Africa.
The business freedom index is based on 10 indicators, using data from the World Bank’s Doing Business study. The Index is 31 in Somalia, a low score for a country in Africa.
The political risk in Somalia
The governance and political stability indicators are critical drivers for political risk. An overview of Somalia can be seen in the graphs below:
The rule of law index analyses to which extent agents have confidence in and abide by the rules of society, in particular the quality of contract enforcement, property rights, the quality of the courts, and the police's ability to enforce court orders.
When trading with businesses in a country, the rule of law index is critical as it describes your ability to enforce commercial contracts.
In Somalia, the rule of law index is at -2,27 points, with the score going from -2.5 (weak) to 2.5 (strong). Somalia has, therefore, a very low rule of law index, which means it is often close to impossible to enforce your contracts. We, therefore, recommend avoiding credits and recommend charging upfront payment instead.
The commercial risk in Somalia
The commercial risk is influenced by a country's international trade relationships. You can see some of the key facts for Somalia in the table below:
Somalia has a negative trade balance of -69,45% of GDP. This means that Somalia imports more goods and services than the country exports.
The financing risk in Somalia
The country's banking system, efficiency, and stability influence the financing risk. You can find the extra information for Somalia in the table below:
In Somalia, the credit information sharing index is 0 on a scale from 0 (low) to 8 (high). The result of this is accessibility and quality of credit information available in Somalia is very low.
This makes it very difficult for you to understand the credit risk of your counterpart in Somalia. Unless you have a strong relationship with your customers in Somalia, we highly recommend charging payment upfront or using credit insurance.
Your legal rights as a creditor (and as a borrower) are 0 out of 12 and, therefore, very weak.

.svg){kind=icon}
Getting paid by people who owe money in Somalia can be a challenge. Debt collection in Somalia usually occurs in multiple steps, including amicable collection, evaluation, surveillance, legal collections, and debt enforcement.

The debt collection process in Somalia typically involves three steps: pre-legal collection, legal debt collection, and debt enforcement. Pre-legal collection involves sending reminders to the debtor to acknowledge and start paying back the debt. If this fails, legal action may be necessary. If the claim is worth less than 2,000 to 5,000 euros, "debt surveillance" is an option. For bigger claims, starting a legal process may be recommended. Ultimately, debt enforcement can be pursued if the debtor agrees or there is a court order. Debitura can assist with all three steps in Somalia.
In Somalia, if the debtor disputes the claim, a civil lawsuit is required for debt collection. Legal actions involve local lawyers who negotiate payment and obtain payment orders. Enforcement court is used to enforce payment orders. Insolvency proceedings may be initiated if the debtor cannot pay, involving selling off debtor assets to repay creditors. It is important to get quotes from multiple lawyers to get the best price for your case.
At Debitura, we offer a no-cure-no-pay model for pre-legal collection, with a success fee between 10-20%. The cost for legal actions varies depending on your case and desired actions. We can provide you with 3 quotes from the best debt collection lawyers in Somalia. Contact us for more information.
The length of time it takes to collect a debt in Somalia depends on the circumstances of each case. If the issue can be resolved in the pre-legal phase, the collection process generally takes 3-6 months. However, if legal action is necessary, the process can take longer, typically spanning between 12-18 months. The complexity and involvement of the debtor can also impact the duration of the collection process.
