Re: FLASH: Clients not paying for jobs

[T1]

Grant,


Agreed, you gotta cover yourself in the beginning.


50% up-front deposit

25% upon completion & before transfering ownership

25% 2 weeks after launch


( When dealing with lawyers ( or clients with a litigous history ( do the

research!! ))  I increase my rate by $25 hourly, require 75% deposit up

front, and 25% (+ additional off-spec work upon closing), and include an

arbitrator clause for settlement.)


I try to cover all of my hourly resources (& some padding) in the first 75%

of the bid so if they do flake out you don't take a loss.  the remaining

payment of 25% covers close to half of my taxes.


There is so much work out there it is to your disadvantage to take a project

if they are not comfortable with the terms.
