FAQ

How often should I send invoices?

It is best practice to send invoices immediately upon completion of a project or milestone. For ongoing monthly contracts, sending invoices on the same day each month helps maintain a predictable cash flow.

What should I do if a payment is late?

First, send a polite follow-up email to the client to ensure they received the invoice. If the payment remains outstanding, refer to your original contract terms regarding late fees or interest charges.

Do I need to include my tax ID?

Yes, including your tax ID or business registration number is standard practice for professional invoices, as it allows your client to properly account for the expense in their own financial records.
