The terms of payment are YOUR terms, so if you specify 7 days and they agree, its 7 days. I always say payment within 7 days. No way am I waiting 30 days for the money, if they cant afford it when they want it doing, they wont be able to afford it in 30 days.
Having problems receiving money from a client. They are either ignorant, arrogant or both. I put my invoice in a week last Friday.
We are small business and rely on fast payments to cover wages costs and material costs. However I have still not received any form of payment. This was a private installation not a business to business.
Not sure what the next move is. I know they get 30days to pay up but I feel as though they are the holding money back for no reason. It's £4000, so hardly something we can let go.
Did you make your "client" (I hate that word - it's what solicitors and prostitutes have) aware of your terms of business BEFORE the work started, or did you just spring the fact that you expect to be paid on the day of completion on them??
Quotation, said payment upon completion. Invoice said within 7 days... It's past the 7 days.

Thank you.
My appointment at Specsavers is now booked.
Er no, your terms can say what they want, but customers will pay when they want. And don't try taking legal action too soon or you will lose!
