## What it means for a shop owner

It must be agreed in writing before the sale and allowed by the law where you trade. Keep it reasonable or you may lose the customer. It is better to remind before the date.

## A worked example

A 1000 invoice is late and the fee is 1 percent a week, so it grows by 10 a week.
