How a Plumbing Company Used NOIs to Recover Lost Funds

The History
When the pandemic hit in 2020, Senior Account Executive Saul Zelaya knew that he needed to find a way to ensure R&L’s continued success. He decided that collecting what the company had previously deemed as “lost funds” would be the best way to do so, but wasn’t sure where to begin. Luckily, he’d already been working with Levelset to better manage the preliminary notice process due to the growth R&L had experienced before the pandemic. Saul made a call to figure out how exactly Levelset could help, and hasn’t looked back since.
The Changes
With Levelset’s help, Saul has been able to reduce R&L’s financial risk, incite faster payments, and leave job detail research up to Levelset’s expert research team– all while simplifying the overall process. Most notably, though, is the fact that he was also able to recover almost $200,000 in debts owed to the company using NOI’s (Notice of Intent). He believes Levelset is an essential tool, as it’s been able to make sending NOI’s a breeze and has ensured that the company is taken seriously, protected, and is making the most of their time.
With Levelset, I was able to go back about two years and recover nearly $200,000. At that time, the company only had around 25 employees, so that was big money for a small company.”
