How to grow your payments app with legionella risk assessors
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Legionella risk assessors check the water systems in rented homes, offices, hotels, gyms and care homes, and write a risk assessment for the owner, landlord or managing agent. Many customers also book them for regular water testing and temperature checks. Most jobs are quoted up front. A payments app that handles assessment fees, testing visits and invoices can win legionella risk assessors, and every landlord and business that pays them sees your app.
Talk to legionella risk assessors
Ask local legionella risk assessors:
- Do customers pay before or after they get the report?
- Do you charge for regular testing visits each time or on a plan?
- How do landlords and managing agents pay you?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Get paid when the assessment is done
A link sent with the finished report lets the customer pay straight away, without the assessor chasing an invoice.
Make regular testing easy to pay for
Customers who book testing every month or quarter can pay each visit by link, or on a regular plan, so the assessor knows every visit is paid.
Grow through landlords and property trades
Legionella risk assessors work for landlords and managing agents who also pay plumbers, fire risk assessors and other trades. When those businesses take payments through your app, each assessor can bring more of them onto it.
