How It Works
Four Steps, No Guesswork
The same sequence whether you are checking a new supplier or chasing an old one.
Send the documents
Contract, proforma invoice, payment records and correspondence — whatever you have.
Get an honest read
Within 24–48 hours: is there a case, what is it worth, and what will it cost.
Decide with numbers
We put the likely recovery next to the likely cost. You decide with both in front of you.
Act — or prevent
We pursue recovery, or we fix the process so the next deal does not repeat this one.
