After reading a thread on here yesterday, I have been thinking more and more about the number of clients who up and run without paying the invoices that I have sent to them. Although the majority of projects that I do are worth less than £200, if I take the time to add up the amount that I have lost since starting, I imagine it would shock me into action.
But how do you chase your unpaid invoices? What is the lowest amount you would bother for? How long do you usually give your clients to pay? I have only just started adding a date to the bottom of my invoices with regards to when I expect payment, and the date that I give is to pay within 14 days. Most pay within hours rather than days so it isn't a problem a lot of the time - but there are still those occasions where it is a bit of an issue!
