Getting stiffed isn't bad luck. It's the industry.
Chasing harder won't fix a system this stacked. Setting terms up front will.
You did the work. Now you're chasing the check.
The final payment that never comes.
One bad client can wipe out a month — and fighting it in court can cost more than the invoice itself.
The renegotiation after the handshake.
They sign, you start, then around week three they push back on the price you already agreed to.
The extras you ate.
The $60 capacitor, the $40 in fittings, the change nobody signed off on — quietly bleeding your margin.
"I finished the deck three weeks ago."
"Still no final check."
Protected in three steps.

Half your money before day one.
A $17,160 bathroom remodel on a 50 / 25 / 25 schedule. Move the slider — every job you price should look like this.
With a 50% deposit you're cash-positive before day one. You're never owed more than 25% at any stage — vs. invoicing 100% at the end and waiting ~74 days to collect.
Everything that gets you paid — nothing that doesn't.

Still on the fence?
"I only do small jobs."
Small jobs are exactly where one unpaid invoice hurts most — and a $29 contract covers all of them.
"My clients would be put off by a contract."
A clear contract reads as professional, not distrustful — it's what serious operators send.
"I already have my own contract."
Great — PaidTerms makes it consistent, branded, and 5 minutes to produce, with the payment clauses built in.
"I'm not a lawyer."
You don't need to be — the clauses are plain-English and trade-tested. For big or complex jobs, have an attorney review.
Questions we hear all the time.
Stop working for free.
Your next job deserves a contract that pays.
