Frequently asked questions
What is the deadline to file a claim in insolvency proceedings?
Two months from the publication of the opening judgment in the BODACC. Past this deadline the claim is forfeited (forclusion) unless a relief from forfeiture is granted.
How do I know if a client entered insolvency?
Procedures (safeguard, receivership, liquidation) are published daily in the BODACC, indexed by SIREN. Solvenda cross-checks your whole portfolio every day and alerts you with the exposure at stake.
Is BODACC data free to reuse?
Yes. The BODACC is published by DILA under the French Open Licence 2.0, which allows commercial reuse provided the source and update date are credited.
Solvenda watches for you, every morning.
Every morning, Solvenda cross-checks your entire portfolio against the official BODACC, alerts you the moment a procedure opens, ranks by exposure in euros and counts down the claim-filing deadline. Before forfeiture.
