This is receipt enough for pretty much most companies. If you are working with a client on a regular basis (i.e. every couple of weeks or months) then a receipt will not be necessary as the accountant / accounts department will already have you in the system and pay you at the end of the month / project as previously agreed. Just make a note of the work order or purchase order number in case you need to chase one day. Hiya,

I do mine manually I have a word template that i can just change and print. make sure you keep a copy for your records. Chasing debts should always be done by a solicitor. If owed money by a business and the ammount is over £750 your solicitor can send a Stat demand. This will make the business bankrupt if they don't pay within 21days.
