Billing by Direct Debit?

[pickod]

I'm direct with the current client , 30 days after Invoice Date is stated in the business agreement. Generally they pay within this , if they dont for whatever reason , as I have a decent relationship with the repeat client , a simple email reminder usually suffices.

All clients , obviously are different , large corps via an Agency can sometimes be a problem , but in these cases its the Agency who technically pays your Company and it is these who need to be chased.

TBH its usually the Agencies more than the actual clients who are the issue

I once got in trouble at my old job for setting up our hosting to pay via direct debit. The finance director didn't like it - he'd never quite say why but I suspect it had something to do with the ability to pay late, or not at all - even when it's a service vital to your business.
