How we work
From unpaid invoice to payment
Assemble the file
Contract or tender award, LPO or LSO, delivery notes, inspection and acceptance certificates, invoices and every piece of correspondence, organised into one complete record.
Verify and reconcile
We reconcile what you are owed against what the entity has recorded, identify gaps that could stall payment, and track the bill through any verification process.
Press for payment
Structured, documented engagement with the accounting officer and the finance department, with every contact, promise and response logged in your dashboard.
Escalate where needed
Where payment does not follow, the claim is referred to partner advocates for formal demand, proceedings and enforcement of any judgment, under their own engagement with you.
Questions
Frequently asked
- Who is this service for?
- Suppliers, contractors and service providers, Kenyan or foreign, who are owed for goods delivered, works completed or services rendered to a Kenyan ministry, state agency, state corporation or county government.
- How is it priced?
- A fixed fee to assemble, verify and reconcile the file, agreed in writing before work starts, and a success fee on money actually recovered. The first review of your documents is free.
- Why do pending bills stay unpaid?
- Common reasons include missing or inconsistent supporting documents, bills that were not recorded or verified by the entity, budget constraints and changes of administration. A complete, reconciled file removes the reasons that are within your control.
- Do you take legal action?
- Eastbridge Recoveries manages the claim. Where court action or enforcement is needed, it is carried out by partner advocates under a separate engagement with you.
