Question: How should a business handle unpaid invoices for services rendered to another business when there is a valid contract?

Answer: In a case of a breach of contract where a business (service provider) has unpaid invoices for completed services rendered to another business (the purchaser), and there is a valid contract, the business (the purchaser) that has not paid the contract is in breach of the agreement. If there has been no indication of faulty work or other reason that the contract would be considered unfulfilled, the business (service provider) may formally request that the other business (the purchaser) tender payment under the invoice.
