GoCardless, a bank payment company, has agreed a new partnership with the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) to offer its members practical tips and advice to help address late payments.
As headline sponsor of the FSB GoCardless Late Payments Hub, GoCardless will provide information and guidance to help FSB members take control over when and how they get paid. FSB members will also benefit from cost savings and support when signing up to GoCardless, subject to eligibility criteria.
