You don't need a lawyer to get paid by clients who never pay — Immani lets you file a dispute against their phone number for KSh 100. This story is all too familiar for many business consultants and small business owners in Kenya. A consultant in Nairobi delivered work worth KSh 200,000 to several clients, but they never paid. This is a classic case of clients who take advantage of small business owners, thinking they can get away with it because they're not a big company. Why this happens: clients who never pay often take advantage of the fact that small business owners are not equipped to handle disputes or collections. They know that the owner will be too busy running the business to pursue them for payment. How Immani works in this specific context: with Immani, you can file a dispute against your client's phone number for KSh 100. This will notify them that you're seeking payment, and give them a chance to respond. If they don't respond, the dispute will become visible to anyone who looks up their phone number within Immani, which tends to prompt a reply. What happens next, concretely:

1. You file a dispute against your client's phone number for KSh 100. 2. They're notified that you're seeking payment, and given a chance to respond. 3. If they don't respond, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up their phone number within Immani. 4. This tends to prompt a reply, and you can work out a payment plan or settlement.
