Guides & Tips

Practical invoicing advice for freelancers and small businesses.

What to include on every invoice

Your business details, client details, a unique invoice number, issue and due dates, a clear itemized list, subtotal, tax and total, plus payment terms.

Understanding VAT and tax IDs

Include the correct tax ID for your jurisdiction. In the EU, both supplier and customer VAT numbers matter for reverse-charge invoicing.

How to handle late payments

Set clear due dates, add a late fee clause, and send a polite reminder before escalating. A deposit invoice reduces risk.

Getting paid faster

Offer multiple payment methods, send invoices promptly, and use recurring invoices for retainer clients.
