Let's Talk Heating and Cooling

There are a ton of ENERGY STAR-certified heating options for homeowners:

Heat pumps
Water heaters
Solar water heaters
Solar tank water heaters
Tankless water heaters
Commercial gas water heaters
Electric air source heat pumps

Clients Aren't Paying You on Time?Let's Quickly Fix That

Does it surprise you that 63% of invoices are paid within 30 days? How about the fact that once a bill isn’t paid in 90 days, you only have an 18% chance of ever getting paid?

It’s vital that small business owners

like you get paid on time so you can improve your business rather than lose money.

Fortunately, GetAssist’s Business Membership offers a way to keep your clients in check: our invoicing tool.

What Happens To Small Business Owners Without Payment?

Your clients may not realize how much they cost you when they don’t pay on time. Lack of payment causes a series of adverse effects for Canadian entrepreneurs:

79% of small business owners can’t pay themselves
23% can’t hire employees or invest in new equipment
20% stop marketing efforts
18% can’t provide bonuses
