Invoicing Best Practices
Late payments cost freelancers and small businesses an estimated $1.5 trillion globally each year. A well-structured invoice with clear payment terms can reduce late payments by 40%. Key elements: unique invoice number (for tracking), clear due date (not "Net 30" — use an actual date), itemized list of services, and accepted payment methods.
- Send invoices immediately upon project completion — every day of delay increases non-payment risk
- Offer multiple payment options (bank transfer, credit card, PayPal, Stripe) to reduce friction
- Set payment terms clearly: "Due by [date]" with a late fee policy (1.5%/month is standard)
- Follow up at +7, +14, and +30 days past due — most people simply forget, they don't refuse
