The consultation is free, by phone, WhatsApp or video, with no obligation. You learn what is recoverable, which route fits, how long it should take and what it costs: nothing upfront, 30% only on the amount recovered. If you proceed, a dedicated advocate sends the legal notice within 24 hours.
What happens in the consultation
- You message us on WhatsApp or book a slot; a recovery expert calls at the agreed time (phone or video).
- We go through the invoices, the order, the delivery proof and the buyer’s replies, and ask about the buyer’s pattern.
- You get an honest view: how recoverable the claim is, which route fits (reminders, legal notice, MSME Samadhaan, Section 138, summary suit or arbitration), a realistic timeline and the exact cost.
- If you decide to go ahead, a dedicated advocate is assigned and the legal notice goes out within 24 hours. If you decide not to, you owe nothing.
What we look for in startups, saas and new-age businesses cases
Contracts and order forms with 30-day terms, annual subscriptions billed upfront, and payments that stop when a client’s funding or priorities change.
Proof: signed order forms or MSAs, usage and onboarding records, invoices and dunning emails, and founder-to-founder messages acknowledging the dues.
- We check for: auto-renewal terms the client disputes
- We check for: trials that became paid use without a signed order
- We check for: chasing a company that has already shut down (check MCA status first)
- We check for: equity or “partnership” promises instead of payment
The route we usually recommend
Startup dues are contract-driven: a legal notice quoting the order form and auto-renewal terms often settles them. Arbitration clauses are common. Startups that are Udyam-registered can file MSME Samadhaan against larger clients, and a summary suit covers the rest.
Specific to Gurugram
Gurugram’s dues are corporate: staffing agencies, facility managers, consultants and IT vendors billing companies on Golf Course Road and Cyber City, and auto component suppliers around Manesar. Corporate contracts often include arbitration clauses and vendor portals, so the notice and the contract terms decide the route; MSME suppliers to the auto majors can use Samadhaan.
Forums: Judicial Magistrate courts, Gurugram, for Section 138; District Court, Gurugram, and its Commercial Court for recovery suits.
MSME claims: Haryana Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council.
What to check in any free consultation
- Is the person assessing your case an advocate or working with one? Ask who will sign the notice.
- Do they tell you when a claim is weak? A good assessment sometimes says “not worth pursuing”.
- Is the fee in writing, and what happens if nothing is recovered?
- Will the recovered money come to you directly from the buyer?
- Do they know the MSMED Act timelines, Section 138 deadlines and Section 43B(h)?
What to have ready
- The unpaid invoice(s) and payment terms
- Purchase order, delivery challan, e-way bill or proof of service
- Messages, emails or letters about the payment
- For a bounced cheque: the cheque and the bank return memo
Photos or PDFs on WhatsApp are fine. Missing documents do not stop the assessment; we tell you what to collect.
