As a small business, not only does direct debit make it easier for you through time saved not having to chase customers for invoices each month (not to mention the improved cash flow), but also makes it easier for your customers who no longer have the admin requirement at their end each time your invoice needs paying. Definitely a win-win.
I couldn't believe how simple it was to set this great software system up, especially after I'd had so many clients try to do something similar through their own banks, only to be told it would cost a small fortune and be very complicated.
Low Costs
Costs are really low at 1% per transaction, capped at just £2. And this applies to between 0-500 transactions per month. More than adequate for the majority of service based businesses.
No Fees
No monthly fees
No hidden fees
No setup fees
Simple Setup
Setting my customers up was a doddle too. I simply entered their email address in the online system and they received notification from GoCardless. They then filled in their direct debit details and I received confirmation that everything was done. Simples!
High Security
GoCardless has great credibility and is
Registered with the FCA
Sponsored by Royal Bank of Scotland
Created using military grade encryption
Approved by the biggest names in payments.
Direct Debit Guarantee
The system works under the Direct Debit Guarantee and GoCardless confirm that should anything ever go wrong with a transaction then the payer would be entitled to an instant refund.
This simple, cost effective, streamlined system offers huge benefits to small businesses with less than 500 transactions per month. If you're thinking of moving your customers to Direct Debit then I'd highly recommend GoCardless.
