When an invoice goes unpaid past its due date, sending a clean, clearly dated follow-up is often more effective than an email alone — it gives the client something concrete to act on. Use this tool to recreate the original invoice with an updated due date and a note referencing the original invoice number.
UK law (the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act) allows businesses to charge statutory interest and a fixed compensation fee on overdue business-to-business invoices once payment terms have been missed — this tool does not calculate that interest for you, but you can add it as an extra line item if you intend to charge it.
Keep your payment terms visible and specific — "Payment due within 14 days of invoice date" is far less likely to be missed than no terms at all — and consider tightening your terms for clients who have paid late before.
