Get paid
Polite chasing that steps up properly (gentle for good customers, firmer for repeat offenders) and a straight answer on who owes what.
- Payments are matched to invoices as they land.
- A friendly reminder goes the day after it's due, then a firmer one a week later.
- Anything past thirty days comes to you with a suggested next step.
- Once a week you get one line: what's owed, by whom and how old it is.
One £900 invoice a quarter that quietly never gets paid.
About 1.5 hours a week back to you.
Example figures for a small trade business, not a promise. Your numbers will differ, and working out yours is what the free brief is for.
