In a tightening economy, it’s not enough to do great work — you need to make sure you get paid for it. In this episode of Master Integrator, Paul Skelton speaks with Angela McDonald, Managing Director of Optimum Recoveries, and Craig Mason, Principal of SMS Law, about how smart home integrators can legally and financially protect their businesses.

From tightening your terms and conditions to using tools like the PPSR and trade credit insurance, Angela and Craig share clear, practical advice for avoiding bad debts before they start. They also break down common mistakes integrators make — like relying on handshake deals or trying to recover gear after non-payment — and what to include in your contracts to ensure you have legal recourse.

Whether you're running a growing integration company or you're sole trader just starting out, this episode will help you build smarter systems — not just for your clients, but for your business.
