I've a bad feeling I'm going to be messed about big time for some work I've completed. Hopefully I'm wrong... What's the best way of invoicing? Usually put 30 days but I kind of want less. Nothing was agreed for invoicing terms. I just want to go in shouting pay me or xyz as I know people...

I've finally finished cash flows I'm happy with them, and looking at them I'm really surprised at how well things should look in 12-18 months time. I've been extremely hard on the figures, milk price is in at 32ppl and costs are all over the top rather than under. However, there's a period...
