Nationwide Notice Puts You in the Driver's Seat


When you furnish labor or materials on a construction project, your contract determines who you can legally pursue for payment. If you're working under a subcontractor, your legal options are limited—unless you exercise your lien rights.

At Nationwide Notice, we empower you to take control of your financial security and put you in the driver's seat.

Know Your Position

If you've been hired by a subcontractor and don't get paid, the law typically allows you to only sue the subcontractor—not the general contractor, property owner, or bonding company. This leaves you exposed to serious risk if the subcontractor fails to pay or disappears.

But there's a solution: filing the right notice and preserving your lien rights.

Expand Your Legal Rights

By sending a preliminary notice and securing your lien rights, you break free from the limitations of your direct contract. Here's what exercising those rights enables you to do:

• Sue the General or Prime Contractor
• Take legal action against the Property Owner
• Go after the Bond, if the project is bonded

This means you're no longer relying solely on one party to get paid—you have multiple avenues to recover what you're owed.

Protect Your Payments with Nationwide Notice

At Nationwide Notice, we make it simple to send legally compliant notices in all 50 states—helping you protect your lien rights from day one. Whether it's a public or private job, bonded or not, we ensure your documents are accurate, timely, and enforceable.

Don't leave your payment to chance.
