Problem

The most frequent operational risk for experienced solo professionals (freelance consultants, lecturers, designers) is unpaid service fees. At $750–$3,750 per case, hiring a lawyer costs more than the claim itself. Without knowledge of formal notice, payment order, or small claims procedures, most freelancers simply write off the debt. The annual write-off rate for freelancer receivables reaches 35%, making it one of the leading causes of solo business closures.

Solution

1) Upload contracts, invoices, and KakaoTalk chat records for an automated self-assessment checklist on claim viability 2) Auto-generated formal demand letters (certified mail via Korea Post integration) 3) Payment order application and small claims complaint templates with step-by-step procedural guides

Target: Post-retirement professionals aged 50–60 who transitioned to freelancing or solo incorporation 1–3 years ago, with B2B service contracts as their primary income source
Revenue Model: $14.25 per formal demand letter (drafting & sending), $29.25 per payment order application draft, 15% referral fee for certified judicial scrivener connections
Ecosystem Role: Regulation
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
