Online Billing Management
As a business ownerself-employed professional, you don’t have the backing of a large company to ensure you get paid properly and on time for your work. That means you need easy to use, flexible, detailed invoices that clearly and completely include all the details (e.g. invoice number, individual line items, due date, contact information, payment terms, sales tax, business name, etc.) needed for you to get paid for the servicesproducts you have provided.
On top of that, you need to ensure your invoices look polished and professional to build up credibility and trust in your business.
There are advantages to running a small business, suchlower overhead and personalized service, but you still need your customers to recognize your experience and expertise. Get paid on time, every time by using a professional invoicing software.
Depending on the business you are in and the products and services you provide, the right time to create and send your invoice can vary. If you are a business owner who sells products, you’ll give the invoice to your customer at the time of purchase. If you provide services, you might want to give your invoice to the customer using professional service invoices when the job is completed.
Since you are self-employed, you need to keep the revenue flowing. If you are providing services over a long period of time, you can customize your invoice template to bill for a percentage of the payment up front, with the remainder being paid upon completion,send in bi-weeklymonthly invoices.
Whatever payment cadence you choose, make sure it’s clearly noted on each invoice, and clarify what portion of the final ‘cost’ has been paid to date.
