Net 30 Payment Terms for Freelancers: Pros, Cons, and Alternatives
Should freelancers use Net 30? How it compares to Net 15, due on receipt, and other payment terms.
Net 30 means the client pays within 30 days of invoice. For freelancers, this creates cash flow gaps—you've delivered the work but wait a month to get paid. Alternatives: Net 15 (standard for smaller agencies), due on receipt (for clearly defined deliverables), or 50% upfront (eliminates most risk). If a client requires Net 30, consider building in a 2% early payment discount or charging a retainer to smooth cash flow.
