Common Dance Instructor Invoicing Mistakes

These problems slow payment and spark disputes. Use the fixes to keep bills clean and easy to approve.

Mistake
How to fix it
Not applying the deposit leaves the balance wrong and delays payment.
Show the deposit as money received and reduce the total by the same amount. Keep the math visible on the final bill.
Vague descriptions make clients question charges and stall approval.
Describe the work in clear, simple terms with time or units. Tie each item to a date or session.
Use one unit system and double-check totals with a calculator. Round time the same way on every bill.

Missing tax or business details can block payment.
Include your business name, tax ID, and any license or certification if required. Add sales tax only where it applies and check local rules.
No clear due date or late-fee terms means slow pay.
State the due date and how to pay in one place. Keep late fees in your contract and mirror them on the invoice.
