Invoices, contracts and getting paid on time
20 minFoundationalFree
A lot of music work is paid on an invoice: sessions, production, shows, sync fees, features. Late payment in music is usually disorganisation rather than refusal, and a clear invoice with a due date fixes most of it before it starts.

- Set payment terms and follow them up
- Use a short written agreement for fee work
- Chase late payment without damaging the relationship
