Business owners should review their agreements carefully and consider speaking with a qualified accountant, tax professional, or attorney for guidance specific to their situation.

If your invoices keep going quiet, the problem is usually paperwork, and the good news is that it’s totally fixable.

If the client goes silent, it doesn’t mean that you’ve done something wrong. Usually, what's going on is that the invoice is sitting in someone's inbox unpayable because a tax form is missing, or a reference number isn't on it, or it went to a person whose job has nothing to do with paying anyone. Nothing has been rejected - the invoice simply can't be processed in the state it arrived in, and nobody has thought to mention that.

Who This Is For

This is for people running businesses that bill other businesses. Freelancers, consultants, agency owners, contractors, shops, and anyone who does the work and then has to go and get the money.

If your business sells to consumers and gets paid at checkout, this isn't really your problem. The money shows up when the card clears. But if you send invoices to companies and then wait, the rest of this is for you.

The Vocabulary

If you’re just starting, you might find this useful.

W-9. A one-page IRS form with your name, address and taxpayer ID number on it. It's how a business tells the government who they paid. Most companies won't release a payment to you until they have one on file. It takes about ninety seconds to fill out and it holds up more payments than anything else on this list.

PO, or purchase order. A number that the client's finance team creates before they agree to buy something. It's basically a pre-approved budget slot. When your invoice arrives, their system tries to match it to that number. No number, no match, and your invoice goes into a pile for someone to sort out manually, which is another way of saying never.

AP, or accounts payable. The team, or often just an inbox, that actually pays the bills. Not the person who hired you. These are different humans with different jobs.

Net 30. You get paid 30 days after the invoice date. Net 15 means 15 days. It's the payment deadline, and it starts ticking from the date on your invoice, whether or not anybody has opened it yet.

ACH. A bank-to-bank transfer in the US. Cheaper than a card, slower than a card, and the standard way most businesses pay their vendors.

1099-NEC and 1099-K. Tax forms that report what you were paid. More on those at the end, because they cause a specific and annoying problem.

Send the W-9 Before Anybody Asks

Attach it to the very first invoice for a new client. Waiting to be asked means being asked in week four, after the payment has already stalled, and then waiting another two weeks for the next payment run.

The form downloads from the IRS site in about a minute. Fill it out once, save it as a PDF, and send that same file to every new client from now on.

Ask Whether They Use Purchase Orders

Ask on the kickoff call, before any work has been done. It's one sentence: \"Do you use POs, and if so, who sets one up?\"

Small businesses often don't use them at all. Anything over about a hundred employees probably does. If they do and the number isn't on your invoice, it cannot be processed no matter how politely you follow up. If they don't use them, write \"No PO required\" on the invoice along with the name of whoever approved the work, which gives accounts payable cover to just pay it.

Send It to the People Who Actually Pay Bills

Ask for the AP email address or billing portal on day one, then send the invoice there with your contact copied.

The alternative is emailing the person who hired you and hoping they forward it. Sometimes they do, on a Friday, in a batch, three weeks later. They're not being difficult, they just have a real job that isn't paying you.

Put a Real Date On It

Write the due date as an actual date. \"Due September 15\" gets put in a calendar. \"Net 30\" makes the reader do arithmetic, and nobody does arithmetic for fun.

Be realistic about what net 30 means in practice, too. Between approval queues and scheduled payment runs, a company on net 30 terms usually pays somewhere between day 35 and day 50. A client asking for net 60 is asking your business to finance theirs for two months, so either build that into the rate or ask for a deposit up front.

If you're building a small business and want the money side covered before it becomes urgent, TSR's guide on what to do if you receive an IRS tax debt notice is worth reading early.

Decide How You Want the Money to Arrive

This part gets skipped, and it's worth about a week of waiting.

An invoice sent as a PDF with bank details at the bottom asks the client to open the file, log into their banking system, type in an account number and hope they got it right. Every one of those steps is somewhere to procrastinate.

An invoice that arrives as an email with a button on it asks them to click the button.

Plenty of business platforms handle invoicing and business payments together. For example, on Whop, you create the invoice in your business dashboard, set it as one-time or recurring, choose the due date, and pick which payment methods your business will accept. The client pays from a button in the email without creating an account of their own, and the payment lands in your business balance alongside every other sale.

What to Do When It's Late Anyway

Because sometimes it will be.

Day one past due, reply on the original email thread, attach the invoice again, and ask a question rather than making a demand. Day seven, email accounts payable directly with the invoice number and PO number, copying the person who hired you. Internal nudges move faster than external ones.

Day fourteen is when you’ll have to call your contact. Nobody enjoys this part.

If it’s day thirty, and there’s still no money, send a written notice referencing the late fee clause in the contract. If there isn't one, add it to the next contract, keep it modest at around 1% to 1.5% a month, and check state rules, because they vary. Unlike some countries, US businesses have no automatic right to charge interest on overdue invoices. The Prompt Payment Act sounds like it helps and doesn't, since it only covers federal contractors.

After that, small claims court handles most freelance-sized amounts without a lawyer. Limits run from roughly $5,000 to $25,000 depending on the state.

One Thing to Sort Out Before Tax Season

Payments taken by card or through a payment platform get reported to the IRS by that platform on a 1099-K. Payments a client sends directly, usually by check or bank transfer, may show up on a 1099-NEC the client issues. Reporting thresholds have shifted around in recent years, so check current numbers rather than trusting anything in an old blog post, this one included.

The problem is double counting. Some clients issue a 1099-NEC for work they actually paid by card, which the processor has already reported separately. Suddenly the business looks like it earned more than it did. Your own invoice records are what sorts that out, which is the boring reason to number invoices properly from day one.

A Final Word On Getting Paid On Time

There's no clever trick here. Send the W-9 early, ask about POs, email the right department, put a real date on the invoice, and make paying it a single click.

That's four small pieces of admin and one decision about payment methods, and it takes about twenty minutes to set up properly. The alternative is a business that's short of cash while it waits on money it has already earned, which is a cash flow problem created entirely by paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I really need to send a W-9 before they ask?

Yes, and it's the highest-return ninety seconds in this whole article. Attach it to the first invoice for every new business client. Without one on file, most companies' accounting systems will not release payment, and nobody tends to mention that's the reason for the delay.

What if my client doesn't use purchase orders?

Is it unprofessional to ask for a deposit?

Should my business take card payments or ask for a bank transfer?

Bank transfer costs far less on larger invoices, often a few dollars against a few percent. Cards clear faster and are easier for the client. A lot of small businesses set bank transfer as the default and add a card option for smaller invoices or clients who ask, which is a reasonable balance.
