Unpaid invoices are a common stress for small businesses. Our team can help in negotiating payments, saving you stress, time and money in trying to resolve disagreements on your own or through court.

Unpaid invoices are one of the biggest causes of small business stress. Finding the time in your already busy day to chase outstanding payments for work delivered in good faith is incredibly frustrating – we hear you!

There are many small business problems our office can help to resolve, but one of the most common is unpaid invoices.

Chasing outstanding invoices and navigating disagreements relating to the provision of goods or services can be incredibly time consuming and stressful. In fact, a report published recently on Inside Small Business identified that 39% of small and medium businesses spend up to 12 hours a month chasing late invoices. Who has time for that?!

We understand that this loss of income, no matter how big or small – and the time taken to chase it – all adds pressure on you and your small business. Our team of expert advisors are here to help.

We’ll talk through your situation and discuss your available options. With no costs involved, we support parties in negotiating and coming to a resolution that everyone agrees upon.

It’s not always a quick fix, and it might still take some time to resolve, but we can do the hard work for you, allowing you to focus on what matters most: running your small business.

For some matters, mediation might help with reaching an agreement. We can help with this too. We can provide a low-cost mediation service facilitated by an independent mediator with expertise in dealing with small business matters. Mediation is an efficient and effective option to resolve disagreements in a way that preserves ongoing business relationships. SBC’s mediation service is heavily subsidised, costing you only $195, and in some instances, is completely free.

You’re not alone in facing the frustrations of dealing with small business disagreements. Check out the stories from other small business owners who have trusted us to help.
