Why using a service like ours to chase your debtors might be the smartest move you make all year.
You know what’s worse than doing your own tax return?
Chasing unpaid invoices when your business is already struggling to stay afloat.
You’re tired, overwhelmed, and facing the hard truth: you’ve done the work, sent the invoice, followed up once (maybe twice), and now… silence. Meanwhile, your bills are piling up, your stress levels are rising, and you’re wondering if it’s even worth it anymore.
You’re not alone
I’ve worked with many small business owners and sole traders who end up in the same position. They’ve worked hard for their client only to be ghosted when it’s time to get paid. And when the financial pressure starts to build, the last thing they have the energy for is politely (or not-so-politely) chasing people for money. That’s where I come in.
Why is chasing debt so hard?
Because it’s personal.
You’ve poured your time, skill, and heart into delivering something valuable. Maybe you bent over backwards for that client. Maybe they even told you how amazing you were. But now they’re three months overdue, and you’re stuck in an awkward place between frustration and desperation.
You might worry about seeming too pushy. Or burning bridges. Or damaging your reputation.
Often you just don’t have time to send that ‘gentle reminder’ for the fifth time, especially when you’ve got new clients to serve, a growing to-do list, and a business that needs your attention now.
Enter: Someone Like Me
At Blott Business, one of the lesser known but increasingly business saving services I offer is debt collection and accounts support.
No, I’m not a scary debt collector with a clipboard and a trench coat.
I’m a professional with over 30 years of business experience who understands the delicate balance between assertiveness and empathy. I know how to get results without damaging relationships and without you having to feel like the bad guy.
What I Actually Do
✔️ I contact your clients on your behalf (professionally and respectfully)
✔️ I follow up on overdue invoices via phone, email, or both
✔️ I keep records of communication so you know where everything stands
✔️ I take the emotional labour off your shoulders
✔️ I can even help you tidy up your systems so this doesn’t keep happening
Sometimes, clients genuinely forget. Sometimes they’re in trouble too. Either way, I approach each situation with a firm but fair mindset. My goal is simple: get you paid, without the drama.
Why Delegating This Task is a Game-Changer
Here’s what happens when you let someone like me handle your debtors:
- You reclaim your energy.
No more agonising over what to say, or when to follow up again. - You stay focused on your business.
Instead of chasing money, you get to keep doing what you do best. - You protect your brand.
My communication is always respectful, professional, and in line with your tone. - You improve cash flow.
That means paying your own bills on time, breathing room in your budget, and less late-night panic Googling. - You feel supported.
Which is half the battle when you’re running a business solo.
But What If I’m Embarrassed About My Finances?
We all go through rough patches, especially in small business. Whether you’re just starting out or dealing with a downturn, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you’re human.
What doesn’t help? Ignoring the problem and letting unpaid invoices snowball into a full-blown cash crisis.
I work with all sorts of clients, some who just need help following up a few invoices, others whose businesses are on the verge of closing if the money doesn’t come in fast.

A Quick True Story (With her Permission)
One of my clients, let’s call her Sarah runs a wellness business. She’s brilliant at what she does, but she let overdue invoices pile up because she didn’t want to ‘seem rude.’ By the time she came to me, she was owed over $70,000 and considering closing shop.
We put a plan in place. I sent the emails. Made the calls. Within a month, over 70% of that money was in her account.
She didn’t have to chase. She didn’t have to worry. She could finally breathe.
That’s what my service is about.
