Every Friday, I answer your small business questions in a video blog segment called Ask SmallBizLady.

This week, we are taking on the question: How to handle invoicing as a start-up?

Click here for the answer. 

There are a few options you can use for invoicing  

1. Try paypal.com
2. Use your accounting software QuickBooks Pro or Peachtree
3. You can create a paper invoice

Do invoicing electronically! Do not create duplicate work for yourself or your accountant.  

Like I suggest in my book Become Your Own Boss in 12 Months, you need to have an accountant set up your accounting software the first time.  He or she will show you how to handle invoicing electronically.
