How to grow your payments app with fire risk assessors
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Fire risk assessors visit shops, offices, restaurants, blocks of flats and other buildings, look at fire safety and write a report for the owner, landlord or managing agent. Most jobs are quoted up front, and many customers book a review of the assessment later. A payments app that handles assessment fees, deposits and invoices can win fire risk assessors, and every business or landlord that pays them sees your app.
Talk to fire risk assessors
Ask local fire risk assessors:
- Do you take a deposit before the visit?
- Do customers pay before or after they get the report?
- How do landlords and managing agents pay you?
- Do customers book you again to review the assessment?
Take a deposit when the visit is booked
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit before the visit, so the assessor knows the job is going ahead.
Get paid when the report is ready
A link for the balance sent with the finished report means the customer can pay straight away, without the assessor chasing an invoice.
Grow through fire safety trades
Fire risk assessors work alongside fire extinguisher servicing firms, alarm installers and managing agents. When those businesses take payments through your app, each assessor can bring more of them onto it.
