Frequently asked questions

What is the standard payment term for SMEs?

30 days end of month in France. Option of a 30-50% deposit before order for large volumes. By quote, we can negotiate 45 days depending on the project.

Do you accept payments in local African currencies (XOF)?

Not directly. Transactions are made in EUR via SWIFT transfer. XOF↔EUR conversions are handled on the client's bank side. Case-by-case review for established partners.

Is IT leasing worthwhile for my SME?

Leasing suits investments above €10,000 excl. VAT amortized over 3-5 years. Pros: budget spreading, deductible rents, easier renewal. Con: higher total final cost than an outright purchase (interest).

How does the Stripe deposit work?

On the /en/devis page, after submitting your request, you can pay a symbolic €500 deposit to reserve your project. This deposit is deductible from the final quote or refunded within 14 days in case of cancellation.

Which Incoterms do you offer for Africa export?

EXW, FCA, FOB, CIF, DAP, DDP. DAP is the most common for African clients who want simplicity. DDP lets us manage the entire logistics but at a higher cost.
