Is Your Business Owed Money?

Late or unpaid invoices are a common challenge for many businesses. While most clients pay on time, delayed payments can place unnecessary pressure on cash flow and take valuable time away from running your business.

If your business is owed money, it is often best to act quickly. In the first instance, businesses may wish to:

• Send a payment reminder 

• Check that the invoice has been received 

• Confirm there is no dispute regarding the goods or services provided

If payment is still not received, a more formal approach may be required. A Letter Before Action is often the next step and remains an effective option before pursuing legal proceedings.

What is a Letter Before Action?

A Letter Before Action is a formal letter sent to a debtor requesting payment and warning that legal proceedings may follow if the debt remains unpaid. In many cases, a solicitor’s letter can prompt payment without the need for court action.
