Frequently asked questions
How does Equisettle help security companies collect contract payments faster?
Equisettle automates payment reminders for your security contracts, sending professionally worded follow-ups at the right intervals. Security companies typically reduce DSO by 15-25 days, which directly improves your ability to meet monthly payroll on time.
How does Equisettle handle complex variable billing for security contracts?
Equisettle tracks each invoice individually, regardless of billing complexity. Variable invoices covering overtime, additional officers, or specialist services each follow their own reminder sequence — ensuring nothing gets missed in the collections process.
Which accounting software does Equisettle integrate with for security firms?
Equisettle integrates with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and FreeAgent, syncing security contract invoices automatically so collections start the moment billing is raised.
What is the average payment delay for UK security services companies?
UK security services companies wait an average of 45-60 days for payment from corporate clients. Monthly payroll obligations make this cash flow gap particularly damaging. Equisettle clients typically reduce payment cycles by 15-20 days.
