How does it work?

The SOP Act is designed to protect tradies by ensuring they receive timely and fair payment for their services. This legislation helps to prevent payment delays and disputes, providing a legal framework that supports the financial stability and peace of mind for hardworking tradespeople across New South Wales.

By enforcing strict payment timelines and offering legal recourse for unpaid invoices the SOP Act empowers tradies to focus on their work without the constant worry of chasing payments. At our service, we leverage this Act to help you collect what’s rightfully yours, ensuring you get paid promptly and fairly for every job you complete.

Frequently asked questions

We know navigating invoice payments can be tricky. Here are some common questions we get from tradies like you. If you don’t find what you need, reach out directly—we’re here to help!

 

We take an unpaid invoice of yours and transform this into a robust Payment Claim which will mean your invoice can no longer be ignored. From the issue of a Payment Claim, the principal’s options to ignore or dispute the invoice are severely limited and this encourages prompt payment. This is often all that is needed to take an invoice from unpaid, to paid.

Yes. But, rest assured, we only charge a fee if we succeed in recovering payment of an invoice. So, there’s nothing to lose in giving us a shot.

We just need the details of the job, work and materials the invoice relates to, and some details about your outfit. To find out exactly what you need, have a go at the Invoice Check. 

 

Using the SOP Act, principals will no longer be able to ignore your invoices, or dispute your invoices for any reason they consider relevant. Also, any legitimate dispute must be raised in a strict timeframe. If a principal doesn’t pay in full or raise a fair issue in the required timeframe, that outstanding invoice amount changes from an amount unpaid to an enforceable debt.

 

No, we do not provide any legal advice. 

 

We take the confidentiality of your business and client information very seriously. Our website uses secure, encrypted forms, and we manage your data with Google Workspace, ensuring robust security and compliance with data protection regulations. When necessary, we sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) to protect your sensitive information. Only authorized personnel have access to your data, and they adhere to strict confidentiality agreements. Your trust is important to us, and we are committed to keeping your information safe and secure.

You should ask your lawyer to check if the dispute is valid, because the client will need to meet specific requirements to make a valid dispute. If it is not a valid dispute, then they will need to pay your invoice.

 

Currently, we are only helping tradies across New South Wales recover unpaid invoices.

 

While other invoice services available to tradies might just send an invoice on your behalf, and send automated payment chase-ups, we add a bit more. We issue your client with a claim which, using NSW construction law, implements very strict timeframes for payment, and limits the client’s ability to dispute the invoice. With the added legal element, the client knows your serious about having your work paid for. Also, if you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.
