Payment is due on completion of job. That said, I don't chase customers for the money. I collect when I am local to them, and sometimes leave it till next time if they are ones I know I can trust.

MY INVOICE SAYS; Payable on presentation of this invoice. Its a cash business like any shop why should we wait. 3 days max then they pay a admin charge.
Its so important starting out to set the pace of your business if you are sloppy the customers will push there luck. So be firm and enjoy your business

14 days for both residential and commercial.

if payment not made in 14 days(BACS/SAE customers)i send a text reminder.

for some commercial they pay a bit later(usually within 28 days) but i always get paid in the end.
price higher/work harder!

I put 5 days. I don't always get the payment in 5 days but it gives them the idea that I would like it sooner rather than later  ;D

"To assist my cash flow please pay within 7 days"
