Setting the Right Payment Terms on Your Invoices

Payment Terms That Protect Cashflow

Short, clear terms usually outperform complex terms — because nobody reads the fine print anyway.

Your terms should match project size, risk, and customer type. A kitchen refit is different from a quick repair.

Recommended Setup

Use a repeatable structure so all invoices are consistent — and enforceable if you ever need to chase.

• Set standard terms — net 7 or net 14 works well for most jobs
• Add payment methods directly on the invoice — make it easy to pay
• Send reminders before and after the due date — automatically if possible
