How to get paid faster by signing contracts online
Between closing a verbal deal and starting work (and getting paid) there's usually a bottleneck: signing the contract. Shortening that step directly accelerates your cash flow.
Paper slows down payment
Printing, signing, scanning and resending can take days, especially if the client is busy or far away. Every day of delay is a day you don't bill that project.
Signing online speeds it up
With electronic signatures the client receives a link and signs in minutes from their phone. As soon as they sign, you can start the work or issue the invoice, with the contract backed by its audit trail.
Small change, big impact
Cutting signing time from days to minutes, multiplied by each client per month, means getting paid sooner and with less friction.
Frequently asked questions
How does online signing help you get paid faster?
Because it shortens the stretch between the verbal agreement and the signed contract, which is usually when you can invoice. If the client signs the same day instead of the following week, the whole collection cycle moves up by the same amount.
Why does paper slow down payment?
Because each step adds days: print, sign, scan, find a working scanner, send back. Every one of them is a chance for the document to sit on someone's desk.
What do I do if the client is slow to sign?
Use automatic reminders. On paid plans, Firmiu re-sends a reminder after 48 hours to the pending signer, so you don't have to chase them over WhatsApp or remember to do it yourself.
