Working with clients in other countries can open up a much larger market for a freelancer, consultant, agency, or small business. It also creates a few billing questions that don’t come up when you invoice someone in your own country.
Ask ten freelancers what frustrates them most about running their own business, and at least seven will say the same thing: clients who pay late. Not clients who refuse to pay. Clients who just… drift. Three weeks turn into six.
