This also makes chasing up payments easier as you can refer them to the clearly stated dates on your invoice.

4. Logo

It doesn’t have to be fancy, but you’d be surprised at how much of an impression this makes on your customers. You can create something simple in Word, or if you want a professional image, buy a small image that you can use.
