When you get paid
Contracts may require monthly invoices, payment per milestone, or payment on completion. A 60-day term on a 90-day project can hurt cash flow if you are solo. Match the schedule to how you run your books.
Late payment
Look for interest on overdue invoices, the right to stop work, and whether you can hold deliverables until money clears. Some countries cap penalty interest.
Expenses
Travel, software, and pass-through costs should be pre-approved or capped. Open-ended reimbursement with no receipts is risky for both sides.
Currency and tax
Cross-border deals should say which currency applies and who pays conversion fees. Note VAT, withholding tax, and who issues compliant invoices.
