Default Re: What are your most important business policies?
My own most important policies include:

-Late payment policy- (I bill on net 14 and anything later is penalized, and again if not paid by 30 days. After that it's another story)

-Deposits- *every* new client makes a straight $500 deposit that I hold against their final invoice or 6 months, whichever comes first and/or makes sense based on their payment performance.
