Myth 2: It’s complicated and time consuming

Today, there are tools that are specifically designed to make invoicing a breeze for you, whilst also helping you come across as extremely professional. Now isn’t that a dream combination?

Myth 3: Invoices do not apply for small fees

Fact: Whether you are charging Rs. 100 or Rs 10000, there needs to be a record of you providing the service. An invoice is the best way of keeping this record, no matter how small the amount may be. Ultimately, it’s about adopting a professional approach when it comes to asking your client to pay you for the service you provided.

Invoices are a great way to add a professional touch to your independent service venture. Do not let misconceptions stop you from raising invoices for your clients. Happy invoicing!
