Practical strategies to remit payment for faster

1. Set Net 14 instead of Net 30

Most clients pay based on what's written on the invoice. Switching from 30-day to 14-day terms — and enforcing it — cuts average collection time significantly for coach / tutor / trainer in Kuching.

2. Add a late fee clause

A late fee of 8% per annum, stated clearly in your invoice terms, is both legally enforceable in Malaysia and a strong behavioral nudge. Use our Invoice Terms Generator to get the right wording.

3. Automate your reminders

Manual follow-up is awkward and time-consuming. InvoiceLah Pro sends automatic reminders 7 days before, on, and 3 days after the due date — without you having to think about it.

4. Require a deposit

For project work, a 30–50% deposit before starting is standard practice. It filters out bad-faith clients and improves your cash position through the project.
