The founding brief was simple enough to fit on one page and hard enough to build carefully. Small B2B businesses hate chasing overdue invoices. They already did the work. They do not want a third party collecting in a stranger’s name, and they do not want a success fee that punishes getting paid.
The everyday version of late money
If you run a trade, an agency, a wholesale van route, or a small consultancy, you know the pattern. The job is finished. The invoice is out. Week two becomes week five. You open the books on a Sunday night and realise half the “profit” is still someone else’s float.
Most of that delay is not malice. It is process: a shared AP inbox, a missing purchase order, a bookkeeper on leave, a customer who meant to pay and simply did not. Sporadic chasing — when you remember — feels personal and inconsistent. A calm, predictable ladder feels fairer.
The promise
Get paid. Skip the blah. Connect your books — Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage, or a spreadsheet. Choose a tone. Let email and SMS ladders run on your schedule. Then stop the second a payment, reply, or dispute arrives.
- Reminders go out in your business name, not as an agency script.
- You remain the creditor at every step.
- No success fee on money your customers pay you — subscription only.
- Safety rails (stop on payment, dispute pause, never-chase flags) are designed to ship on every plan.
What we will not become
We will not buy debt. We will not message your customers as PayBlah-the-collector. We will not sell safety rails as premium add-ons. Those lines are product principles, not marketing garnish.
We also will not invent collection rates or fairy-tale case studies. If a number appears on the site, it is product-defensible or clearly labelled as an example.
Who this is for
Anyone who invoices other businesses on terms: construction and field services, wholesale, agencies, IT consultancies, hospitality trade accounts, and the long tail of B2B trades. If your week has better uses than writing “just checking in,” you are in the audience.
