Collaborate and CWLA Supplier Support

We work with clients who are not traditional Agencies, so they do not represent the artists that work on projects with them. Two of the main clients we work with in this way are Collaborate Agency and CWLA Literary Agency. Both these companies source creatives that are perfect for their project. As a result the creatives, who we refer to as suppliers, do not have access to features like our Artist Portal to see jobs they are working on, and manage their details, bank accounts and invoices.

If you are a supplier here are some top tips that will help ensure that you are paid in the quickest and more efficient way. These tips are also shared every time a PO is sent from these Agencies as a reminder.

• Check the payment terms noted on the PO for when you should expect payment for your project
• Speak to the commissioner about payment terms/expectations if you would like a better understanding of the timeline of a project which can relate to payment terms.

When your work has completed, your invoice should contain the following details:

• Your invoice number
• Invoice date
• Your name and address
• The PO number for the project, found on the PO that you will receive by email.
• Brief description of the part of the project that you are invoicing CWLA for.
• Bank details in your name or the name of your business.
• The correct Agency name and address, this will be on the PO sent from the Agency when you started the job.

Please note, your invoice may not require any VAT depending on where the Agency is based. If they are in the US they are not liable to VAT payments so please do not include.

Some countries require a code to receive bank transfers, please make sure you provide us with that information to avoid delays in getting the money to you.

For any enquries regarding payments as a supplier, please speak to [email protected] who will respond to you within 24 hours.
