I work as a sole trader and invoice for my work. Most businesses process invoices on the 20th of the month.
I did some work for a business on the 7th of the month and invoiced, and they confirmed they would be paying this through on the 20th.
20th comes and goes, now at the 24th and still nothing has come through. I email the accounts contact and they say that sorry, this one must've slipped through somehow. We'll pay this next run. I now have to wait 2 months. I'm not desperate for the cash but it is certainly inconvenient.
Is this just a too bad scenario or something small businesses actively do to drag out having to pay contractors/suppliers? Is there anything I can do other than suck it up for another month?
