Late Payment Solution
Hey guys, I'm a newbie here and just wanted to get your thoughts & feedback on something we have been working on...
We are looking to help freelancers get paid on time and give you more visibility on when you get paid for the work you do.
We know late payments are a huge issue generally, but small companies and freelancers tend to take the biggest hit. We want to help solve this problem by allowing you to agree payment terms with your client before starting work, and then have the payments come out via Direct Debit on the dates agreed.
Can you take a look at our website and let us know what you think?
We are interested to know if DueCourse would be useful to you and your business, or if you could give us any feedback to help improve our system so it could work for you or your company in the future.
Thanks guys! All feedback (good, and bad!) will be much appreciated! :)

It's true that Direct Debits can be cancelled. However as soon as this happens, we immediately get informed by the bank and alert you to let you know the payment has been cancelled, and to stop all work (if still ongoing). We will then support you if the event of any ensuing dispute with your customer, as we have all the logs of when the quote was accepted and the acceptance to our T&C's.
We are looking to bring in credit & debit card payments within a few weeks - would this method of payment be more appropriate do you feel? (As these can't be cancelled by a customer prior to a payment being taken.)

You're certainly on to something. Late payments can be crippling for many freelancers, and being paid on time is regular issue. Is there currently anything else out there offering a similar service?
If you guys get it right there'll certainly be a big market there 🙂 Good luck guys!
