The payment terms you include in your invoice can have a definite impact on the speed at which you are paid. The online invoice service Freshbooks recently analyzed data on payment terms and found some general trends that help you get paid faster:

•Be polite. Use terms like “Thank you for your business. Please pay within ... days”.•Be specific on the days they have to pay, avoid using terms like “Net 30”.

•Adding interest to late payment can delay the speed they pay but increases the payment rate.•Overall, Freshbook suggests payment terms such as:
•“Thank you for your business. We do accept payment within 21 days, so please process this invoice within that time. There will be a 1.5% interest of charge per month on late invoices”.•See the full article here.
