If you are just getting started in business one of the best tools to take on early is a good invoicing system. It gives your business a professional image quickly and it's essential that you set up system to make it easy for you to invoice so that you are set up to collect money from your clients as quickly & easily as possible. In all new businesses, particularly start up, cash flow is critical.
We've used Freshbooks for over a year and found it to be a very simple, very professional system. You can customise the look of the system to suit your branding, adding your logo & changing the site colours. You can have invoices emailed to each client as they are raised and you can set up auto reminders to follow up payments if they are not received within a set timeframe. Another fabulous feature is the ability to set up recurring invoices, so your invoicing can be set up to be issued automatically in line with any dates you've committed to, for weekly payments, monthly payments, quarterly payments etc
Kyla recommends Freshbooks because it's so easy to use and because it's web based it means you can log into your invoicing system from any mobile or computer with an internet connection. A great tool to include in your mobile office set up.
For up to 3 clients the system is free & after that there are payment plans starting from US$19 per month but you can still sign up to do a free 30 day trial or choose the 30 day money back guarantee. It's a really great business tool that's cost effective. Sign up today to give it a go & let us know what you think.
