Got a very simple business question. I might be getting some work from a couple of people which may necessitate an invoice and receipt. I have very little business experience, but I would imagine that if I was doing it in English, I'd write an invoice (everything being online), send it, receive the money by bank transfer, then send a similar document with "invoice" changed to "receipt" and a stamp saying PAID on it. First of all, is that right? I've been an employee all my life so this is all new to me.
I've found a template invoice (請求書)in Japanese. Can I do a similar thing, i.e., complete the details, send it, then once I receive money, change it to a 領収書 and put a virtual stamp on it? If so, what would be the Japanese equivalent of PAID?
The people I'd be doing the work for would be friends of friends that I'm going out for a few beers with soon, and things do not have to be too formal, but I'd like to get it right in case I have to do things on a more formal basis in future.
Thanks.
