Getting paid on time has become a major issue to small companies especially when dealing with larger organisations and cleaners are no different to any body else on this issue.
We need paying on time ie 30 days max.
I hope you all have proper credit control procedures in place because with out this you can end up all over the place on outstanding invoices.
All you new start up's make this a priority otherwise you could be in serious trouble before you've even begun.
Many a business has gone under within the first year because of bad debt and not through lack of work.You must ensure your clients know when payments are due and the consequences of not paying on time ie fine, interest etc.
There is new legislation in place now to help you,make use of it it's all legal and on your side.
If need be I can post on here the nuts and bolts of it for your files.
Happy Cleaning.
