Invoice the same day you finish
Send the invoice before you leave the driveway. Delayed invoicing is the #1 reason small service contractors have cash flow problems — and late invoices feel less urgent to clients.
Add a 'how to pay' line
Explicitly state your payment methods (Venmo @yourhandle, Zelle, check payable to LLC name). Removing friction gets you paid faster.
Track repeat clients separately
Property managers and landlords are your best repeat business. Flag them in your records, offer Net-15 terms, and check in quarterly. One property manager can replace 20 one-time residential clients.
Due on receipt (Net-0) is standard for same-day handyman work under $500. For larger multi-day jobs, require a 50% deposit upfront and the balance on completion. Net-15 is reasonable for repeat commercial clients like property managers.
Cash is fine, but always issue a written receipt. For jobs over $300, strongly prefer digital payment (Venmo, Zelle, card) so you have a transaction record. Cash-only clients who resist paperwork are higher risk for disputes.
Stop work and create a written change order before doing any extras. A quick text message confirmation ('I'll add the leaking bathroom faucet for $125 — sound good?') creates a paper trail. Never complete added scope and hope to collect after the fact.
Yes, provided you disclose the policy in writing before the work. State it on your estimate and invoice ('1.5% monthly on balances past 15 days'). Send a reminder at Day 7 and a formal late notice at Day 15 — most clients pay immediately after the first formal notice.
