Chasing eats your time
Hours every week writing "just following up" emails instead of doing the work you actually started the business for.

Sound familiar?
Late payments are quietly running your week.
Late payments choke cash flow
You've done the work and sent the invoice, but payroll, suppliers and VAT don't wait for your customers to get round to it.
Awkward conversations
Nobody wants to be the bad guy with a customer they like. So the reminders get softer, later, or don't get sent at all.
Good news: this is exactly what we fix.
What we do
Your credit control team, without the hire.
We plug into your accounting software and run the whole collections process, politely, persistently and in your brand's voice.
Email & phone chasing
Friendly, firm reminders on a schedule that works. We pick up the phone when an email won't do.
Ledger management
Allocating payments, querying unallocated cash and keeping your sales ledger clean and current.
Customer statements
Clear, regular statements so customers always know exactly what's outstanding.
Weekly aged debt reports
A simple Monday snapshot: who owes what, what's moving, and anything that needs your attention.
Dispute handling
We get to the bottom of queries (wrong PO, missing proof of delivery) and get invoices unstuck.
Escalation only when needed
Final notices and next steps happen only with your say-so. Relationships come first.

Who you'll work with
Hi, I'm Zoheb 👋
I've spent the last 8 years in credit control, chasing everything from a £200 invoice for a two-person agency to six-figure balances with some of the biggest retailers in the US.
I started Settledly because I kept seeing great small businesses squeezed by late payers, and owners who hated chasing as much as their customers hated being chased. There's a better way: consistent, professional and actually friendly.
When you work with Settledly, you work with me. No call centres, no scripts.

Kind words
What clients say
Their credit control support has made a real difference to our cash flow. Professional, proactive and always on top of overdue accounts.
They quickly got on top of our aged receivables and took a lot of pressure off our finance team. The communication and follow-up have been excellent.
…outstanding payments while maintaining good customer relationships.
Will you upset my customers?
No. That's the whole point. We're polite, professional and consistent, and we chase in a tone you've approved. Most late payments are down to a missing PO or an invoice stuck in someone's inbox, not bad intent. We fix those, and only escalate when you say so.
Do you collect the money?
No. Your customers always pay you directly, into your own bank account, exactly as they do now. We never handle your money; we just make sure it arrives.
Which accounting software do you work with?
Xero, QuickBooks and Sage. If you use something else, get in touch. We can usually work with it.
How long is the contract?
Monthly plans have a minimum 3-month term (it takes a couple of months to really move the needle), then it's rolling with 30 days' notice. The Ledger Health Check is a one-off with no ongoing commitment.
Do you work with US businesses?
Yes, and with UK businesses that sell to US customers. We chase US accounts during US business hours and have plenty of experience with large US retailers and their accounts-payable processes.
