Founders Pack / Cash Control
Cash control for founders who are tired of guessing
Solaris installs an enforceable cash control system that makes invoicing, chasing, and payment discipline hold.
Early-Stage Cashflow. Payment Terms. Margin Protection.
Late payment is rarely just “bad customers”. It is usually weak process: unclear terms, inconsistent invoicing, no follow-up cadence, and no escalation point. Cash becomes unpredictable and stressful, even when you are profitable on paper.
This is the founder route: a tight, fixed-scope system install that improves cash predictability without dragging you into open-ended consulting. Solaris builds a practical cash control system your team can actually run, not a pile of advice that sits unread.
What you get: a clear process, simple tools, and a Cash Control Handover Pack so the system is yours, not ours.
If you later need workflow automation, dashboard visibility, or follow-up systems behind the process, the adjacent route is Business Process Automation.
What this is used for
Cashflow is not a mystery. It breaks when process breaks: weak terms, weak invoices, weak follow-up, and no escalation. This install fixes that with a simple routine your team can run weekly, so cash stops depending on memory and hope.
No control over payments
Invoices go out, then nothing happens consistently.
No recourse when clients refuse
Weak terms and unclear escalation steps create drift.
Cash visibility is day to day
You cannot see the next month, let alone the next quarter.
What you receive
Defined outputs, not vague advice. This is installed and handed back to you as a working pack.
Terms and recourse
Updated Terms and Conditions of Business to support enforcement and reduce disputes.
Cadence and escalation
Invoicing and credit control SOP with follow-up timing, scripts, and escalation steps.
Visibility and handover
12-month cash flow forecast (Excel) plus a Cash Control Handover Pack and templates.
If you later want dashboards, alerts, workflow automation, or follow-up enforcement around this process, Solaris can extend the system through Business Process Automation.
Landscaping business, Derbyshire
A landscaper had no control over cash, no recourse when clients refused payment, and no visibility of financial position from one day to the next. Solaris produced four core artefacts: a financial and operational baseline review, a 12-month cash flow forecast (Excel), an invoicing and credit control SOP, and updated Terms and Conditions of Business. These were delivered alongside five core cashflow documents as part of the cashflow pack. The result was recovery of £6.8k+ of overdue debt, including invoices up to 18 months old, with first payments within 7 days and full recovery within 1 to 4 weeks, without court action.

Important: This is a fixed install and handover. Your team owns the process. If you want Solaris to stay involved after install, we can, but it is quoted separately so scope stays clean.

FAQs
Is this debt collection?
No. This is a cash control system install: professional invoicing, clear terms, follow-up cadence, and escalation steps. If a specific account needs formal escalation, we will tell you what to do next.
Will you rewrite our Terms and Conditions?
Yes, we provide practical commercial Terms and Conditions of Business suitable for many founder businesses. If you need solicitor-drafted terms for regulated or complex situations, we will flag it.
What do you need from us?
Your current invoice, your current payment terms, how you currently chase, and a simple view of what is outstanding. The form captures the essentials.
Can this connect to automation later?
Yes. If you want reminders, dashboards, workflow tracking, or automated follow-up behind the process, Solaris can extend the system through Business Process Automation.
Do you guarantee faster payment?
No. No one can guarantee client behaviour. What we improve is the process: clearer terms, better follow-up, stronger escalation, and better visibility. That is what typically drives faster payment.
Will you stay involved after install?
If you want ongoing involvement, we can quote a separate option. This founder offer is deliberately fixed scope so you get control fast, without scope creep.
