The self employed blues.....
If you are in the same position, you probably already know what I'm about to say. Money. Or getting it.
I dont know what terms you place on your invoices, but I state seven days from date on the invoice. If you dont state terms, they have ninety days to pay, by law. These laws are there to help us little guys get paid by the big guys. Do they work? Do they hell.
They do give you the right to apply penalties, and take the non paying company to court, but that costs, and they may not want you for any of that nice future work they are dangling in front of you.
I dont really mind the big companies, who pay on a 30 or 60 day cycle, just because thats the way they do it, I have no problems with small business who usually pay up right away.
No, its the medium sized businesses, usually still run by the founder.
They suck.
