Any advice on how to handle a big customer who is often late paying, but whose business is too important to do without? At what point would you sever your relationship with a customer over these kinds of issues?

All these are great suggestions. Before trying any of these, however, you should try to see if there is any way you can make them pay. Some of the techniques you can try are offering a discount, setting up a payment plan, etc. You will most likely end up with more money in your pocket with these options before filing a lien or calling a lawyer.
