Set payment terms that prevent late payment

You keep getting paid late and want to fix it before the next job.

What you'll need

• Your average job size
• How and when you invoice now
• Your worst late-payment story

What you'll get

• ✓Plain-English payment terms for quotes and invoices
• ✓A deposit policy
• ✓A late-fee clause worded for your state

How it works

Works out a deposit and due date that suit your job size and cash needs, then writes terms short enough that customers actually read them. It flags anything you should check against local rules.
