The decision in one line: Find the missing help.
01 / RESOURCES
Find the missing help
Public authorities explain rules, courts explain process and advisers help with a particular situation. The right route depends on the question and the transaction. Where should a small business go for help with an unpaid invoice?
02 / RESOURCES
Ask what the route covers
Before engaging a provider, ask about disputed invoices, control of communications, extra costs and the evidence required. A service description is not a recovery promise. The reader goal here is to triage the situation and choose self-help, public support, professional advice or formal escalation..
03 / RESOURCES
Keep the source trail
Save the authority page, review date and question it answered in the file. A clear source trail helps a colleague understand why the next step was chosen. Return to the action map when the file changes.
NEXT CHECK
Keep the next action visible
Use the Receivables Action Map to name the state of the file, the evidence still missing and the point at which the routine should pause. It is a working prompt, not a legal conclusion.
