Outsourced Credit Control
Do you get frustrated with late paying customers?
You know you should be following up on unpaid invoices. The problem is finding the time when you’re running everything else. The conversations feel uncomfortable, and you’d rather focus on delivering great work than chasing money.
You look profitable on paper, but your bank balance tells a different story. Money you’ve already earned is sitting in someone else’s account instead of yours, and you don’t have the time or headspace to fix it.
Gaynor Hutton, The Numbercrunchers"Put simply, it is one less thing for us to think about."
Often chasing invoices falls to whoever seems like the closest fit
The bookkeeper handles money, so they can chase invoices. The receptionist talks to clients, so they can make the calls. The office manager does everything else, so they can do this too. But it gets added on top of an already full role, and for most people those conversations feel uncomfortable. So when things get busy and something has to give, that’s the thing that goes to the bottom of the pile.
Inconsistent follow-up means clients learn they can pay late
When nothing happens, they learn late payment is acceptable
Reduce your overdue invoices by up to 95%
That’s what working with us can look like. Money arrives faster and more predictably. The mental load of keeping on top of who owes what and when to chase disappears. You get your time back to focus on running and growing your business.
We care about getting the right outcome for your business, but because it’s not our money, we can have those conversations without the stress and emotion that makes them so hard to have yourself.
The result is money in your account that would otherwise still be sitting in someone else’s.
Peter Jones, The HR Dept"I do not worry from month to month about outstanding debt, I just notice more money in the bank account."
How we handle your credit control
Think of us as an extension of your business. You process the invoice, and we take it from there. Our approach is calm, professional, and empathetic – firm but fair. We get results without being aggressive or heavy-handed.
We add notes to your accounting software as we go, so you can see exactly what’s happening. If you’d like regular reports, we can provide those too.
Anita Jaynes, The Business Exchange"We wanted our clients to feel nurtured and looked after, not pressured. Nicki and her team have absolutely fulfilled this."

What it costs
Outsourced credit control is charged at £50 + VAT per hour, starting from a minimum of 2 hours per month (£100 + VAT per month).
How much time you need depends on your monthly invoice volumes and how many typically fall overdue. If you have an existing backlog, we may need extra time initially to clear that. We’ll talk through what makes sense for your business in a discovery call.
This is an ongoing service with a 6-month minimum term. Credit control works through consistency – six months gives us time to build relationships with your clients and re-educate them about payment expectations.
