If you want to get arsey in any way with B - e.g. by closing A's account and lettting them create a new one - you should also consider whether it is large enough that the people there who use your service are a separate group from the people who pay your invoices. In a reasonably sized organisation, Credit Control will employ - and respect - hardnosed attitudes that would make the average programmer (for example) blush, but if it's a three man startup and the same guy is doing both, that's probably not such a good idea.<br>
