I was living with @adamfarah in London when he and @colin_gunnell first started building PennyFreedom.
Like so many freelancers, small businesses, and startup founders, Adam knows first-hand how gut-wrenching it feels when invoices aren't paid on-time and funds are getting tight, or when you just need to quickly release the money tied up in an invoice for an urgent purchase (dropped MacBook, anyone? Adam?). So they built PennyFreedom, the service that gets your invoice paid in a day.
Take a look, ask some questions!
Thanks so much for hunting us @paul_a_smith, and thanks for putting up with all my moaning that time I wasn't paid at Christmas! Good times.
As Paul says, I know all to well the anguish that's caused by not getting my invoices paid on time (and yes, I did drop my MacBook without insurance 🙈). Fortunately @colin_gunnell had a solution brewing in his mind. After lots of whiteboard sessions, late nights, coffee, and code we were ready to release Penny into the wild... and we couldn't be happier.
We're here all day to answer any questions!

This sounds amazing! As an influencer I am forever waiting for brands to pay my invoices (longest I've waited is 3 months!) so defo gonna have a look at this. Is it any hassle to the client?
@helenajlc Hi Helena, thanks for the great feedback. it's no hassle for your clients at all as they simply pay your invoice when they normally would. You get your invoice paid instantly by Penny and don't have to wait or chase payments anymore :)

There is something I don't understand and nobody asked yet. What if one issues an invoice to a client and the client never wants to pay (the client is bad)? What if one issues an invoice to a fake client who doesn't even know about the issuer (issuer is bad)?
@fancsiki Hi, thanks for your question, it's a great one. Penny deploys robust systems to validate an invoices legitimacy via data sources and confirmation prior forwarding payment. This way we protect the supply chain and our users :)

Making getting paid easier and having reliable cash-flow is a great idea so more wind your sails, it is is critical to the small business, especially when you're just starting out. Are you charging a fee to the issuer or the invoicee or both?
@garry_haywood HI Garry, thanks for your question and feedback. We charge a fixed fee to the issuer only, there are no costs or impact the the invoice...the simply pay when they normally would

The sector I work in tends to result in a high volume of relatively low value (sub £1000) and I've found the usual financial instruments aren't able to offer the kind of flexible services I need.
As such I have a couple of questions.
Do you have a minimum value per invoice?
Is there a maximum number of invoices I can put through in a given period?
Would you require me to put through a minimum value or number of invoices over a given period?
Let's play this scenario : l have told to X to deliver me a fake invoice and l come to Penny to get paid .......How do you deal with this kind of scenario when two fraudsters are trying to scam Penny with a fake invoice ?
