Day -3
Heads up
Badger spots the due date and sends a polite nudge to their accounts team. You don't lift a finger.
Day 7
No response? Firmer tone.
Still unpaid. Badger references your payment terms and follows up harder. You're on site, unaware.
Day 21
Time to escalate.
Three weeks overdue. Badger asks you on WhatsApp: go formal? One tap to approve.
Day 21
You say yes.
A formal notice goes out citing late payment interest under the Construction Act. You typed two words.
Day 28
Money in.
Badger detects the payment in your bank, marks the invoice paid, and tells you on WhatsApp. Job done.
The difference
Same Monday morning. Two different realities.
Without Badger
🚩 Wake up dreading that phone call to the project manager
🚩 Open the laptop to figure out who owes what
🚩 Draft a "just following up" email for the third time
🚩 Realise you forgot to invoice that job from two weeks ago
🚩 Lose half the morning to admin instead of earning
🚩 £23,800 still sat unpaid at the end of the day
With Badger
✅ Wake up to a WhatsApp: "Payment received: £4,200"
✅ Approve an escalation with one tap while making tea
✅ Invoices went out automatically — you didn't even think about it
✅ Head to site knowing every late payer is being chased
✅ Your afternoon? That's for quoting the next job
✅ Cash flow improving every week on autopilot
What you get
Everything that used to keep you up at night — handled.
Badger replaces the spreadsheets, the awkward phone calls, the emails you never sent, and the invoices you forgot to create.
Knows what you're actually owed
Handles CIS deductions and retention holdbacks automatically. Chases the right amount — not a penny more or less.
WhatsApp first. Dashboard when you want it.
Day to day, Badger keeps you updated on WhatsApp — approvals, alerts, summaries. When you want the full picture, the dashboard has everything. Use both, or just use WhatsApp.
Friendly, then firm, then formal
Starts polite. Gets firmer. Cites the Construction Act if needed. Always asks before going nuclear. You stay in control.
Creates invoices. Syncs your accounts.
Generates professional invoices, pulls data from Xero or QuickBooks, and keeps everything in sync. One less job for you.
Knows when you've been paid
Monitors your bank feed. When money lands, Badger matches it to the invoice, marks it paid, and tells you. No manual checking.
Quotes the law — so you don't have to
References the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act and Construction Act timelines. Proper, professional, legal. Most tradespeople don't even know they can do this.
Simple pricing
Less than one chased invoice pays for the year.
One plan. Everything included. No per-invoice fees. Cancel anytime.
