Tired of chasing late invoices? Automate it

By Lu, Founder of HelpCo AI · Updated 2026-06-23

TL;DR: Small businesses are owed thousands in unpaid invoices and get paid over a week late on average. Here is how to fix cash flow.

The cash-flow problem

More than half of small businesses are owed money on unpaid invoices, averaging well over ten thousand dollars each, and most get paid more than a week late.

Why owners do not chase

Chasing money is awkward and time-consuming, so reminders fall through the cracks and the cash sits uncollected.

Automate the awkward part

A get-paid-faster system sends invoices with a pay link and politely nudges late payers on a schedule until they pay, then stops the instant payment clears.

Stay safe and simple

Good automation never moves your money. It just sends the reminder and the link, and payment happens on a secure processor like Stripe, PayPal, or Square.
