How can you get paid what you’re owed? Sending out invoices that exhibits professionalism is crucial for your business. Here are some tips to help you enjoy better cash flow and stop stressing about unpaid invoices this year.

Prepare customers with a cost estimate in clearer terms

When it comes to invoicing your customers for services rendered or items purchased, ensure they are ready to fulfill their financial obligations for the service rendered. The cost estimate should include the amount for each service rendered or items purchased as well as the grand total.

Establish payment terms

Every business is different and has specific payment terms. Some may require a certain percent upfront and upon completion, the balance. No matter what your billing requirements are, ensure that your payment terms are clearly explained in your invoice. This will enable the fast payment from your clients/customers.

Offer multiple payment options

Your clients love options. Take advantage of payment solutions to enable clients/customers pay directly from the invoice. Leave no room for excuses for delayed payments.
