Giving you the tools you need to receive overdue payments.

Simple and professional letters for a variety of circumstances that alert a customer you’re owed money and what you plan on doing about it.

Operating a small business or being a sole practitioner means you need some expertise in all the aspects of your business. One of the most difficult tasks is requesting payment for work you’ve done, but have yet to be paid for. Your cash flow is too tight to simply wait for a customer to get around to paying you. Sure, you’re smart enough to write a collection letter, but wouldn’t it be nice to have someone do it for you?

This collection of 10 letters meets that need. As Microsoft® Word documents, they are easily adaptable to almost any circumstance, and they include help for how to best complete them. From polite reminders to final notification you’re going to a collection agency, this comprehensive series of effective letters only requires you to fill in the blanks and drop the letter in the mail.

You pride yourself on doing good work, and you should be paid for it in a timely manner. You can’t put a nonpaying customer’s excuses or promises in the bank, and these letters can help that customer decide to put his money where his mouth is.
