Late payment behaves differently in every industry.

A retention dispute in construction, a staffing agency with weekly invoicing, an exporter chasing a debtor in another jurisdiction — the debt is the same size on the ledger, but the reason it hasn't been paid is not. We brief every case to the team that knows the terms, the paperwork and the usual excuses.

Twelve of our busiest sectors

Below are the sectors we work in most. They are not the only ones we cover — if yours isn't here, tell us what you're owed and we'll route it to the right team.

Trade & industry

Construction & building supply Retentions, variations and contra charges raised the week payment falls due. Manufacturing Purchase order disputes and tooling costs stuck on 60-day terms. Wholesale & distribution High volume, thin margin, and the accounts that always run 30 days late. Transport & logistics Demurrage, waiting time and rate disputes settled on carrier paperwork.

Services

Recruitment & staffing Placement fees and contractor margin, including rebate-period arguments. Professional services Fee notes questioned once the advice has been delivered and used. Media & marketing Cancelled retainers and pass-through media booked on your credit. Technology & SaaS Subscription arrears recovered without switching the service off.
