Great tips on invoicing! I’ve been using Freshbooks but my problem is finding another tool that accepts PayPal as a payment method. Right now they only accept credit cards for plans.

Simeon,
If the client is paying the invoice you should be able to communicate that to the printer and have them invoice the client directly.

Good tips thanks..

What about the case when you organised the printing on behalf of the client ? I received an invoice from the printer with payment details before they proceed but it’s addressed to me – though they do expect the client to pay for it directly, how does that work?

I don’t like the idea of having an invoice in my name (for tax reasons maybe though Im not sure!) when I’m not the one paying the bill…. any tips on this i’m a bit confused?

Excellent tips, thank you very useful! I’d recommend using Paper Free Billing, it’s a very simple online application, but it has superb workflow making it very easy and efficient to use.

A good way to get invoices created free is to use Invoice Bubble, it’s an online app that is really easy to use. Also Billings App is good for the Mac, definitely recommend that too, along with Pancake for PHP.

Good guide, invoicing is definitely something neglegted a bit by many entrepreneurs and once business starts rolling you are wasting alot of time without the right system.
