Get paid sooner, with less chasing

Late payments are the quiet killer of small businesses. Here's how to speed them up.

The quick version · keep this

  • Invoice the moment work is done.
  • Make paying by bank transfer simple.
  • Send automatic, friendly reminders.
  • Take a deposit before you start a project.

01

Bill the moment work is done

The clock only starts when the invoice goes out. Don't sit on it.

02

Make paying easy

Offer a simple way to pay by bank transfer, right on the invoice. The fewer steps, the faster the money.

03

Send reminders, kindly and automatically

A gentle nudge before and after the due date works, and it works better when you don't have to remember to send it.

04

Take a deposit up front

For projects, bill some before you start. It protects your cash and shows the client is serious.

Punctual does this bit

Punctual bills fast, gets you paid by bank transfer, and sends the reminders for you.
