How to Get Paid Faster as a Contractor (2026)
Get paid faster as a contractor in 2026: invoice from the field, take card payments on site, use deposits and progress billing, short terms, and auto reminders.
Trades carry some of the highest days-sales-outstanding of any industry, often past 60 or 70 days, and most of that delay is inside your control. This guide covers the mechanics of getting paid faster: invoice from the field the day the job is done, take a card payment on site, collect deposits and use progress billing on big jobs, set short payment terms agreed before the work, and let automated reminders chase slow payers.
