rolled over...

Michael, there's a lot of assumption in there...

So, invoices not contested; businesses both in business (on going). 
Then, what do I put on the invoice for the invoice/debt that I'm selling 
to the other business?  I mean, what *are* the unpaid invoices that I'm 
selling?  And then, I should probably raise a bill in the receiving 
business, which will create a hole in need of filling - to be filled by 
a new invoice issued from the receiving business to the errant clients? 
This feels like it must be a fairly common circumstance, but none of the 
account websites I've dragged up seem show how it's done - perhaps my 
google fu is rusty.

Many thanks
M.
