Edstart handles the entire fee management process; from family onboarding to predictable payments to your school.
Here’s how it works.
Families set up an Edstart account and choose from a range of payment options that best suit their needs.
Upload family invoices online and we’ll process everything from there – no awkward conversations, no internal assessment process.
We guarantee your school receives fee payments on an agreed schedule, regardless of how or when families pay us back. Your cash flow is protected from day one.
We support families with flexible payment options, so you can focus on delivering quality education.
Automated fee collection handled entirely by Edstart
Extensive live reporting in your school dashboard
Family account health – clearly see how families’ payments are progressing through the year
From onboarding through to reconciliation, our team is alongside yours; managing family accounts, handling sensitive conversations, and keeping your finance team in the loop.
Families get a dedicated, local Edstart team focussed on making school payments as seamless as possible – year after year.
Edstart’s simple sign up takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Families are able to create their own customised payment plan with no paperwork required.
Families manage their payments through Edstart and can contact our team any time. If circumstances change, we work with them to find a solution – so your school never has to.
When does the school get paid?
Your school receives agreed payments on an agreed schedule upfront. Payments are independent of when or how families pay Edstart. You’re never waiting on individual families to pay.
How much does it cost?
Edstart’s service is funded through a small fee paid by schools. There’s no cost to your families.
Do you cover previous family debt from prior terms?
Yes. Edstart can work with schools to recover outstanding balances from previous periods, not just new fee arrangements.
