Paula,

If you are going to extend credit to clients- I`d weigh the potential revenue increase against the increased costs which would include:

  1. The cost of money
  2. The administrative costs associated with the payment process
    1. Invoicing / statements
    2. Processing -
    3. Collecting
  3. Estimated "loss" due to non-collection

I don`t know what the "typical" amount involved in an engagement with a client  - but consider developing a relationship with a funding source that would deal with all the "stuff" mentioned above - allowing you to benefit from additional clients.
