Receiving Payments and Invoicing
I was wondering what you guys do for invoicing. I'm not talking about those who have been doing this for a while, and have something officially set-up, but people starting out. I mean, if one was to start out tomorrow, picking up a phone, managing a sale..and then it comes to payment etc.
1) How do you receive money?
- Cheque? Made payable to whom? Do you get a business account or just your usual personal account?
- PayPal? Into your personal account? Or do you make a business account?
2) If they ask for receipt/invoice. Do you give them a generic one, or a specific one with your company's logo/stamp etc. if so, won't this need to be sorted beforehand?
3) Do you draw up a contract? If so, how 'legal' do you make it, i.e., do you get it drawn up by a lawyer?
I'd appreciate answers from anyone, but regarding the legal issues I'd like to know what UK Offliners specifically do.
Thanks
Joe
