FAQ

How long should I give a client to pay an invoice?

Standard freelance payment terms are typically "Net 30," meaning payment is due 30 days after the invoice date. However, "Due upon receipt" is also common for smaller projects.

What should I do if a client misses a payment deadline?

Send a polite follow-up email on the day after the due date, attaching a copy of the original invoice and asking for a status update on the payment.

Should I include my tax ID on the invoice?

Yes, including your tax ID or business registration number is standard practice and often required by clients for their own accounting and tax compliance.
