All my clients pay as agreed (I wouldn’t work for them otherwise). Some very dear long-standing customers (one agency + two direct clients) pay the day after receiving my invoice, one pays at 8 days, most pay at 30 days and one USA agency pays at 60 days. I can’t remember when I had to send the last reminder (10 years back?)

It's a lot, it's true and most won't accept such a long time for payment but it's a company that sends me regular work and at a good rate, so why should I refuse to accept? I budget in advance so I can pay my bills but it's the only condition that is a bit hard but not off-putting so I accept work from this company.
