What is this?
Freelancers forget to chase invoices, so cash comes in late. An invoice payment reminder SaaS does one job: makes forgetting the follow-up harder. Pick one business niche, understand their late-payment workflow, study competitor reviews and find the smallest useful reminder moment. Build a prototype, test due-date scenarios, recruit three businesses and ask whether they would pay to keep using it.
