In my content business it takes money to make money, so receiving the money quicker means a quicker turn-around for content back to the client in the future. A lot of clients don't seem to fully understand that.
Its a little different for design business. Here we normally have prepayments, especially for small projects, and specifically for rush jobs. I can understand the fact that big companies go through a lot of accounting before payments are sent, but it doesn't take 60 days to pay a bill. 1-2 weeks at most. I won't say for everyone, but I don't suppose there are many designers willing to work overtime without a double charge for a promise to be paid in 60 days.
