Understanding billing and payments and how to pay for services with The Small Business Box or on our site.
Our services are suitable for various businesses, individuals or groups. As part of us being able to provide you with a service we require updated information:
We try to make it easy for you to work with us and try to offer the best ways to pay:
For outside the UK we prefer either bank/wire transfer. If you have alternative ways to pay, which we haven’t mentioned we are happy to discuss with you.
If you would prefer to pay by account you will need to get in contact with us. In certain circumstances we will offer an account facility with 30 days payment. All invoices will need to be paid within 30 days. We will not consider accounts unless at least two paid jobs have been completed first. A credit check may be required.
In certain circumstances we may have to purchase third party plugins, apps or services for websites or other products we offer. In cases such as these we will confirm with you first and invoiced before commencement. In circumstances where this happens after we will invoice these charges separately.
Payments for services and products are required within the mentioned terms on your invoice. Where invoices are outstanding we will use our discretion and work with you to obtain payment.
If we cannot obtain payment we will be forced to pass your account to our collection partner.
Late payment fees
If you are late paying your invoice we will charge a £12 +VAT late payment fee. Being late will be determined by the due date on your invoice or 30 days from the invoice date if none is available.
Interest
For invoices outstanding for some time, as per Government guidance, we will charge statutory interest on the outstanding payment. You will be charged 8% plus the Bank of England base rate. Interest charges will be determined by (and start from) the due date on your invoice or 30 days from the invoice date if none is mentioned.
Once terms/prices have been agreed we will invoice you. We require payment before work commences either;
If payment or terms have not been agreed work will not commence until this is done.
