Get paid faster — send out invoices as soon as the job’s done. Use our easy, online professional invoicing to send bills, expense reports and estimates from your PC or smart phone.

Look Professional — An invoice should look professional—if you take an amateurish approach it’s unlikely that you’ll be treated and paid like a professional. A prominent logo and business name should be followed by contact information for both parties, the date of service, and clear itemization of hourly fees, materials, travel time, sub-contractor fees etc., as applicable. Clients are far more inclined to question and delay payment on lump-sum invoices, so line items are essential; don’t forget that you’ll often be required to include your tax ID or VAT number. — Send an invoice now

Complaint Forms
This gives you a template to send complaints and keeps a paper trail of all your communications with that company. FastDue helps you to be concise and effective. Check all the boxes that describe what you’re complaining about—a billing or safety issue, a faulty product, a poor business practice, bad service, whatever. Check off the date that it happened, drop down to the box to describe your problem, and finish by asking for what you want.
