Don't be a statistic. Use Bolster payments.

Never go into debt for your customers

You shouldn't be taking on the financial risk on behalf of your customers. Make sure you get paid as work gets completed.

Avoid payments being held hostage

Progress payments mean deficiencies on one item never slows down cash flow, and stops clients withholding funds.

Never complete work without payment

Work done, payment requested. Keep cashflow high and get paid in smaller chunks during your jobs.

You're still in control

Automation makes things easier for your business, but you're still the one in the driver's seat.
