Fifteen checks between you and a refused presentation.

Work through each one against your documents. Most refusals are not exotic — they are the paperwork disagreeing with itself, caught by exactly these checks.

The cost of small errors

~70%

of first presentations are refused over preventable discrepancies. Each one means a delayed payment, an amendment fee, and a conversation with the buyer.

Primary causes of refusal

Inconsistent data across documents: 45%
Incorrect or missing documents: 30%
Late presentation: 15%
Other issues: 10%
