Hi, After you have done what Mark has suggested then East Coast credit is good. There are some prerequisites 1. The customer received your terms before the job commenced 2. They are not in dispute with the quality of the work 3. your terms stated that they are liable for all collection costs
East Coast also help with keeping your terms current and advise on setting them up if you do not have any.
