A way for sole proprietors not to worry about ‘I worked but didn’t get paid!’
3 MIN READ
This isn't an advertisement, but I found a good service, so I'd like to introduce it. Apparently, there was an incident recently where a non-advertisement article was mistaken for an advertisement and deleted, so this is just a preamble.
It happens, doesn't it? When you've done the work but don't get paid. Every time, you have to call, email. You have to do collection work, which is the job you least want to do in this world. As much as possible, you want to focus only on your core business. Are you all properly doing your collection work?
No more fearing uncollected payments! This is huge.
What I found at such a time was "Misoca" service. Surprisingly, it guarantees collection! It's like insuring your invoices. Wonderful! Too wonderful!
Honestly, I can't thank the staff at "Misoca" enough for taking a brave step forward with a service that covers what everyone wants to avoid.
In other words, what does that mean?
First, you issue an invoice through the "Misoca" service. That invoice comes with a guarantee. For example, if a client goes bankrupt or disappears and can no longer be contacted. The service provider submits a fulfillment request to "Misoca." Then, "Misoca" compensates the payment. After that, "Misoca" will conduct various investigations regarding the customers with overdue payments.
Moreover, the fee per invoice is very low. For most sales, you can avoid risk for an amount that's barely noticeable. For details, please check the "Misoca" website, Pricing PlansI think it would be good if you checked.
With this system, you can proceed with transactions without the fear of uncollected payments.
As an individual, even if everything else is going well, just one incident can drag you down for a long time. That's why it's so helpful.
I myself actually experience uncollected payments in the hundreds of thousands of yen about twice a year. The stress of uncollected payments is quite significant, but having a service that supports you like this is truly a lifesaver.
Additionally, it seems to integrate with accounting software like Yayoi and freee. Accounting-related processes will likely become stricter in the future, so becoming proficient with accounting software now might make things easier later.
You can do the work you need to do without fearing uncollected payments. When running a business as an individual, just one incident can drag down a smooth business for a long time. This is also a disadvantage for sole proprietors, so it's precisely those extra tasks like debt collection that you want to eliminate as soon as possible.
