What payment terms should you use?
Fourteen days for most work, seven for anything weekly, and due on receipt when the amount is small. A shorter gap leaves less time to forget. Whatever you choose, put the same number on every invoice so neither of you has to remember which client gets which.
Terms are the gap between the work and the money. Every day in that gap is another day for the invoice to sink under newer email.
| Terms | Suits | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Due on receipt | Small amounts, and sessions billed afterward | It can feel abrupt on a large invoice to a company |
| 7 days | Weekly work, where the next invoice is never far behind | Companies whose payment run is monthly |
| 14 days | Most practices | Very little. It’s the common middle |
| 30 days | Companies that insist on it | A month of your money sits in their account, so agree to it only when asked |
WorkWith keeps it to one number for the whole practice. The coaching setup starts at 14 days and a weekly practice at 7. Change it on Me to anything from 0 to 90, where 0 means due on receipt.
