Handy tips. I'd also suggest putting your bank details on your invoice so the client doesn't have to use that an excuse for delaying payment. Also agree payment terms before the job is done or invoice created and ensure the payment terms are on the invoice. Email the invoice and put a hard copy in the post plus send a statement either a fortnight or 30 days later. If you snooze on it then so will they. Thanks for sharing on Bizsugar.com
