The sooner you respond, the more likely your invoice will actually be paid.
Waiting 'so as not to offend the customer' or hoping things will sort themselves out often leads to additional frustration as well as losses.
A lawyer can do more for you than you think. Bannister helps companies act quickly and thoughtfully. Unlike a collection agency, we can go directly to court and subpoena the debtor. This not only increases the pressure, but also ensures a faster verdict. That judgment is crucial: it gives you an enforceable title that allows you to seize the debtor's accounts, goods or income - in short, to force payment. If you wait too long or if there are other creditors, you risk missing out.
We make sure you do not lose any rights: interest and damages are included as standard.
We also look beyond the file itself. Are your clients showing signs of financial distress? Is it wise to stop services temporarily to increase pressure? How do you best respond to excuses not to pay? Can we reach a workable settlement? Where necessary, we advise on attachment measures or other targeted actions.
Our extensive experience in corporate law allows us to quickly assess which approach will yield results and which will mainly cost time and money.
Bannister is not a traditional external service provider, but a flexible partner that thinks along with your company, also in the long term. We are happy to examine how we can strengthen your invoicing process and general terms and conditions to prevent future defaults. That way, you invest in your company's cash flow and make it more resilient for the future. Bannister is happy to think with you.
