Our founder built and ran a British consumer business that trades with companies across the UK, Europe and Asia, and learned the late payment problem first-hand: invoices that age quietly, hours lost to awkward chasing, and an industry of collectors that either would not take small debts or handled them like a battering ram.
The insight behind Clearline is simple: businesses are surrounded by money that is legally theirs and practically unreachable, because the cost of recovering it has always exceeded the value of chasing it. The law even awards interest and fixed compensation on every late invoice, and almost nobody claims it.
Overdue invoices are the biggest pool of that money in Britain: £26 billion at any moment. AI changes the arithmetic. A £600 invoice can now be pursued with the same care, persistence and legal precision as a £60,000 one. So that is what we do.
No triage, no "too small to chase". Our automation works the whole ledger with equal persistence.
Sequences are written in your company's tone. Escalation happens only with your approval.
A published percentage of what we collect: 10, 15 or 25% by the age of the debt, or 8, 12 or 20% for subscribers. Nothing if we don't. Our incentives are your incentives.
