Yes, this happened to me too, twice. My take:
The first time, the company went bankrupt and I was lucky to be working for an
agency, so *they* paid.
The second time, the company was just limping along, and waiting for the "next
big client". They also paid, but it was after about six months, and t
One other thing. I'm not suggesting lawyering up should necessarily be your
first port of call. The longest arrears I have ever had was something like 5
months, but there was a lot of goodwill and trust on my part in that case. I
was working for a software house that was running low on cash. Th
A few other points on this: you might like to agree some standard for agreeing
when a piece of work has actually been done.Without this, it could get messy if
the other company decides not to pay.
The most common method is probably getting time sheets completed and signed
off. Alternatively (a
Small companies tend to pay reasonably promptly. The larger the company,
the longer they take to pay. I have dealt directly with BT and P&O. They
authorise the invoice after about 29 days, but it can take 2 or 3 weeks

Oh, I did have an engineering report - in that instance, they refused to give
me the report until I'd paid them for it (they're also giving me an implicit
support agreement for the life of the project with that deal). The surveyor on
the other hand asks for 30 day terms (and they charge for eve

Bizarrely, agencies are often more reliable about paying invoices promptly (or
at least within the terms) than any company I've worked for directly in the
last 4 years.

When I deal with small building contractors or consultants they want invoices
paid on 14 day or 30 day terms. When I deal with massive multinational IT
companies, they agree to pay invoices on 90 day terms. So somewhere between 14
and 90 days seems to be normal practice. I'd generally ask for

Here's a slightly off-topic question for you all.
I'm planning on doing some consulting work and was wondering what I should
expect as the norm for delay between when I bill my client and when I
should receive their money.
Is there such a norm? Or is it entirely dependent on the client and/or our
