Late Payments Can Break You

Late payments are more than just annoying—they’re dangerous.

When a customer doesn’t pay on time, it doesn’t just affect your bank balance. It puts pressure on every part of your business.

You still need to pay your staff. You still owe suppliers. Rent, tax, and overheads don’t stop because someone missed their due date.

Even one unpaid invoice can lead to cash shortages. That can quickly snowball into delayed wages, missed bills, and lost opportunities.

To protect your business, you need to take control early:

Set clear payment terms. Stick to 7–14 days unless there’s a strong reason not to.
Follow up before the invoice is overdue. Don’t wait for the problem to grow.
Make payment easy. Use online payment links or bank transfer details on every invoice.
Track overdue accounts closely. Don’t let them go unnoticed for weeks.
