How it works

From quote to cash in four steps

You do the job. QuoteChase does the paperwork.

01

Send a quote in 30 seconds

Pick the customer, type the price, hit send. They get a clean, branded link by email, WhatsApp, or a text on Pro. Go quiet? QuoteChase nudges them for you.

02

Convert with a single tap

When the quote is accepted, turn it into an invoice instantly. Every detail carries across. No retyping.

03

Add a payment link

Let customers pay by card straight from the invoice, or keep your bank details on show for free bank transfer. Simpler for them, easier to track for you.

04

Auto-chase late payers

Friendly first, then firm, then formal. QuoteChase escalates politely under UK law so you never write another reminder.

Get paid on the spot

Let customers pay straight from the invoice

Add a secure card payment link to any invoice so customers can pay while the job is still fresh. Prefer bank transfer? QuoteChase still shows your bank details and payment reference, so you stay in control.

Great for deposits

Raise a deposit invoice from any accepted quote and take a card payment before you order materials.

Ideal for small jobs

Let customers tap to pay before you have even left the driveway.

Still free by bank transfer

Keep your usual bank details and payment reference on every invoice.

Card payments are optional. They run on Stripe and land in your own account, with standard Stripe fees from 1.5% + 20p on UK cards. Prefer to avoid processing fees? Keep taking free bank transfer exactly as you do now.

Pro

Text quotes and invoices straight to their phone

Email is great, but a text gets read. Every plan lets you share a quote or invoice to WhatsApp or copy the link in one tap. Pro goes further: optionally text the quote when you send it, then let QuoteChase text overdue invoice reminders automatically.

That difference matters more than it sounds. When the system sends the reminder, you never have to judge the moment, find the words, or worry about pestering a good customer. The follow-up just happens, every time, with no awkwardness attached.

  • Text a quote link before you have left the driveway
  • Text the invoice so it is not lost in a busy inbox
  • Chase reminders go by text on schedule, no decision needed
  • Sent from a QuoteChase sender ID. 200 texts included each month

Automatic SMS invoice reminders and optional quote texts are Pro features. Standard plans send by email and share by WhatsApp or copy link in one tap.

The chase, sorted

Chase unpaid invoices automatically, under UK law.

Set your chase schedule once. QuoteChase emails your customer on day one, day seven, day fourteen and day thirty, with the right tone at every stage, and the correct formal letter waiting at the end of it. Which letter depends on who owes you, and QuoteChase works that out for you.

  • Day 1: Friendly nudge

    A quick, polite reminder that the invoice fell due.

  • Day 7: Firm follow-up

    A clear restatement of the amount and a request for an update.

  • Day 14: Formal warning

    Business customers are told statutory interest can be claimed. Private customers are asked to pay or agree an arrangement.

  • Day 30: Final notice

    The right formal letter ready to download and post, matched to the customer.

Do the maths

What a Letter Before Action recovers

Under UK law, a business that pays you late owes you statutory interest at the Bank of England base rate plus 8%, and fixed compensation of £40 to £100 on top. QuoteChase works the numbers out for you and puts them in a formal Letter Before Action, ready to download and send.

Chasing a homeowner instead? That Act does not apply, so QuoteChase adds nothing and never pretends otherwise. It produces a 30-day letter of claim under the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims and appends the official Information Sheet, Reply Form and Standard Financial Statement. A sole trader gets the same individual protocol process while retaining any eligible commercial interest and compensation.

Most customers pay at the reminder stage, long before a letter is needed. But when one digs in, the right letter is usually what gets the money moving.

One recovered invoice pays for QuoteChase many times over. In the example here, the £70.00 compensation alone covers nearly two months of QuoteChase Standard, and recovering the invoice itself covers years.

Worked example

£2,400.00 invoice, 45 days overdue

Owed by a business

Original invoice
£2,400.00
Statutory interest (45 days at 11.75%)
£34.77
Fixed compensation
£70.00
Now legally owed
£2,504.77

Illustrative example for a business debt, calculated at the current 11.75% statutory rate (Bank of England base rate of 3.75% plus 8%) and the £70.00fixed compensation band for debts of £1,000 to £9,999.99, under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. QuoteChase calculates the live figures for each invoice.

Why QuoteChase

Built for tradespeople, not accountants

No surprise fees. No accounting bloat. No spreadsheets.

Built for your phone

Every screen works with one thumb. Quote from the van, invoice from the kitchen, sorted before you start the engine.

Branded, professional documents

Your logo, your business details, your bank info. Customers see a quote that looks like it came from a proper firm, not a notepad.

The right legal escalation

Owed by a business? Statutory interest, fixed compensation and a Letter Before Action under the 1998 Act. Owed by a homeowner? A letter of claim that complies with the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims. QuoteChase knows the difference, and most templates online do not.

Zero admin, zero faff

No spreadsheets, no accounting jargon, no desktop software. Just quotes, invoices, payment links and money in the bank.

Before and after

The chase, without the awkward bit

Everything that used to live in your head, your notepad, or an awkward text message.

Questions

Chasing payments, answered

How to chase a quote, get a customer to pay, and text quotes and invoices.

How do I chase a quote that hasn't been accepted?

You don't have to. If a sent quote gets no response, QuoteChase automatically emails the customer a friendly nudge 3 days after sending and a final reminder that mentions the expiry date, and it stops the moment they respond. You also get an email the first time the customer opens the quote, which is the perfect moment to call. Want to give it a personal push too? Re-share the link by WhatsApp in one tap.

How do I get a customer to pay an invoice?

Make it easy and make it automatic. Send a clear, branded invoice with your bank details and an optional card payment link, then let QuoteChase send escalating reminders on day one, seven, fourteen and thirty. The later reminders escalate to the right legal step for whoever owes you: statutory interest if it is a business, a county court claim if it is a homeowner. That formal step is usually what gets a stalling customer to pay.

How can I make a customer pay an overdue invoice?

Start with polite, automatic reminders, then escalate. QuoteChase separates the two legal tests: statutory interest and fixed compensation can apply to company and sole-trader commercial debts, while every individual debtor, including a sole trader, receives a 30-day letter of claim with the official Debt Claims Protocol Annex forms. A private consumer gets that protocol letter without statutory interest. Either way it is the real step before a county court claim.

Why won't a customer pay my invoice, and what can I do?

Most late payments are down to the invoice slipping down someone's to-do list, not a refusal to pay, so a polite reminder usually fixes it. QuoteChase chases automatically so you never have to send the awkward text yourself. For genuine non-payers it produces the correct formal letter: statutory interest and compensation for a business debt, or a protocol-compliant letter of claim for a private customer.

Can I text quotes and invoices to customers?

On every plan you can share a quote or invoice to WhatsApp or copy the link in one tap. Pro adds proper SMS: you can optionally text a quote or invoice link when you send it, while overdue invoice reminders go by SMS automatically unless you turn them off in Settings. Texts come from a QuoteChase sender ID and Pro includes 200 a month.

How do I chase an unpaid invoice in the UK?

Send escalating reminders, then a formal letter before action. QuoteChase automates the reminder sequence and chooses the pre-action route from the debtor's legal form. A company or organisation gets a 14-day commercial demand. A private individual or sole trader gets a 30-day Debt Claims Protocol letter with the official Information Sheet, Reply Form and Standard Financial Statement. Sole-trader commercial debts can still include statutory interest and compensation.

Is QuoteChase suitable for tradespeople and small trade businesses?

Yes. QuoteChase is built for UK tradespeople and small trade businesses, from solo operators to growing firms with office staff. That includes plumbers, electricians, builders, decorators, cleaners, gardeners and locksmiths. It is mobile-first so you can quote and invoice from your phone on site.

How much does QuoteChase cost?

QuoteChase Standard is £39.99 a month or £399 a year for 1 user and 50 sends per month (quotes and standalone invoices). Pro is £69.99 a month or £699 a year for 4 users, unlimited quotes and invoices, automatic SMS invoice reminders, and optional quote texts, with extra users available for £10 per month each.

Does QuoteChase calculate UK statutory interest?

Yes, on commercial invoices owed by companies, organisations and sole traders. QuoteChase calculates the Bank of England base rate plus 8% and the correct fixed compensation (£40, £70 or £100). A private consumer does not receive those statutory additions. A sole trader still follows the 30-day Debt Claims Protocol because they are an individual, even though the commercial interest entitlement can apply. You record the debtor as a company or organisation, sole trader, or private individual.

What if my customer is a homeowner rather than a business?

QuoteChase handles it differently. Nothing is added under the commercial-debts Act, and no reminder claims otherwise. The homeowner receives a 30-day letter of claim under the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims, with unmodified copies of the official Information Sheet, Reply Form and example Standard Financial Statement appended to the PDF. Sending a bare 14-day demand to a homeowner is not protocol-compliant.

Stop chasing. Start getting paid.
