Small business unpaid invoices: build the facts before choosing a route
An unpaid business invoice should be reduced to a contract-and-performance record before choosing a recovery route. Separate what was agreed, what was delivered, when payment became due and any reason the customer gives for withholding payment.
Questions that change the route
- • Who contracted with whom and what goods or services were agreed
- • Whether the business completed or delivered what was promised
- • Invoice amount, due date, partial payments and any written dispute
- • Which civil court or settlement route is competent for the parties and location
Evidence to organise
- • Contract, accepted quote or purchase order
- • Invoice and proof of delivery or completed work
- • Customer messages acknowledging or disputing the debt
- • Payment history and a clear balance calculation
Move the issue forward carefully
- 1Send a concise written demand identifying the agreement, invoice and balance
- 2Address any genuine performance dispute rather than repeating the invoice alone
- 3Keep settlement discussions and claim preparation documented separately
- 4Verify the competent civil court and current procedure before filing
