Statutory interest of 8% + base rate on overdue B2B invoices — a powerful incentive to pay on time.
Fixed compensation for late payment plus full recovery costs — built into UK law.

Our template includes all essential payment protection clauses.

Common invoice terms mistakes include failing to reference the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 1998, setting interest rates below the statutory minimum, omitting compensation for debt recovery costs, and using unenforceable penalty clauses.
Our template addresses all these issues with properly drafted clauses.
Invoice Terms and Conditions are the legal rules that apply when you invoice clients. They cover payment deadlines, late payment interest, what happens if payment is disputed, and your rights if the client doesn't pay.
Without clear terms, recovering unpaid invoices becomes much harder.
Yes. Under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, you can charge statutory interest of 8% above Bank of England base rate on overdue B2B invoices.
You can also claim fixed debt recovery costs (£40-£100 depending on invoice size). Our template includes provisions for statutory interest.
Common payment terms include:
• Payment on receipt: Due immediately
• Net 7: Within 7 days
• Net 14: Within 14 days
• Net 30: Within 30 days
• End of Month: By month end
For B2B services, 14-30 days is standard. For consumers, immediate or 7-day terms are common.
Yes, when properly communicated. Invoice terms form part of your contract with the client.
They should be shared before work starts (in quotes, contracts, or terms of business) — not just printed on the invoice itself. Terms introduced only on the invoice may not be enforceable for that transaction.
Invoice Terms focus specifically on payment — due dates, late fees, interest, and payment methods.
Terms of Business (or Terms and Conditions) are broader, covering the full business relationship including scope of work, liability, warranties, and more.
