What are your options for prompt payment? Hear from Thomas Jacobs about adjudication and how GPQ can help you in the event of a payment dispute.

This is the first of podcast series that we are doing with Jackson McDonald - one of WA's largest law firms - where we will cover a range of topics that relate to small-medium trade based businesses and how they can protect themselves.

We all know cashflow is the lifeblood of the tradies’ business. Hopefully – all your customers will always pay your invoices in full, and on time. But sometimes disputes can arise. And if you cannot collect your cash quickly and efficiently, your business could soon be in trouble – not to mention the stress it causes.

But did you know that there is a rapid, cheap way to enforce payment of your invoices without having to go to court? It is called adjudication – and its available to anyone who does work under a construction contract.  Jackson McDonald has made the process of preparing an adjudication application really easy – with its online app - Get Paid Quick (GPQ).

All that is involved is you answer a series of simple questions and upload your contract and invoice in the comfort of your home.  The programme prepares a draft application which is then settled by lawyers – and they only proceed to take action if they think you will win.

 The real advantage of the adjudication process is its speed – you can get a decision confirming that the debt is due within 1 month of launching (which is much quicker than going through court or arbitration).  

 Join Tom Jacobs of Jackson McDonald as he walks you through the adjudication process – and how the GPQ app can help you get paid.”

Leading Cyclus’ operations and loyal site crew are directors Aldo Margio, Dylan Splatt and Kyle Bailey.

Their interest in events began in their late teens when they were DJs and club promoters. This interest developed into a passion and this passion quickly led them to start their own promotion company and volunteer at various touring festivals to gain more knowledge and experience.

During this time they were approached by the City of Joondalup to help them build their events. They had noticed their strong work ethic, their enthusiasm and success – and they’re pleased to be able to call them their client ever since. They continued to progress within the nightclub scene but focused their attention on the bigger picture; executing large scale outdoor events.

Now six years later in 2020, their client base has grown to a national base and they have supported 100's of successful concerts, festivals and sporting events. Listen as they explain their story, how they dealt with Covid and what the future holds!
