Approvals can be fast—until they aren't. The good news: most delays are preventable.
The 3 most common causes
- Document mismatch (names, dates, spelling)
- Missing supporting attachments
- Unclear activity description or scope
How to stay on track
- Create one "source of truth" file for company details.
- Use a checklist for every submission.
- Track status and follow-ups on a fixed cadence.
A disciplined process beats "hero" follow-ups. When everything is consistent, approvals become routine.
