Net 30 vs Net 60: Payment Terms Explained

Invoice Payment Terms

When you set terms like 'Net 30', you agree that the client has 30 days from the invoice date to pay the balance in full.

Which Should You Choose?

• Due on Receipt: Best for small, immediate services.
• Net 30: The industry standard. Gives clients time to process the invoice through accounts payable.
• Net 60 / Net 90: Common in enterprise and government contracts, but can severely strain small business cash flows.

Tip: Offer early payment discounts (like 2/10 Net 30) to incentivize faster fulfillment.
