How can I get QuickBooks get paid upfront service available for my business?

I can see the importance of having the Get Paid Upfront feature available to your business, @encbuildingco20. Let me provide you with some information about this.

Do you have an active subscription to QuickBooks Payments? If you do, that's good to know. Keep in mind that this feature requires active QuickBooks Online (QBO) and QuickBooks Payments subscriptions. If you don't, you can Sign up for QuickBooks Payments.

Additionally, eligibility is determined by various factors such as:

• Your business history within QuickBooks.
• Your maintenance of an active QuickBooks Payments subscription.
• Transactions within your business bank accounts.
• Your invoice history.
• As the personal guarantor, your personal and business credit profiles.

Each application is evaluated individually, taking into account current guidelines and applicable laws, as we understand that every business is unique. You can apply for it through this article: Get Paid Upfront. Just scroll down then click on Apply today.
