1/ Find yourself a good debt collector you will need one, there are lots some charge more than others so shop around.

2/ If do work for another courier company MAKE sure you agree a price with them, its no good agrreeing a price once you have done the work.

3/ Your payment terms 28 days from the date on your invoice, if people want longer than that don't bother with them its plenty of time.

Good luck
