[QUOTE="Scrat, post: 237818, member: 561"] The flipside to this coin, if I may... I know some people who work on the same basis, 70% upfront and the rest later. Still negotiations can bring it down further, say 50% upfront. Problem is after all materials were sourced, labour was provided and installation done, the clients simply don't pay the balance. They then can't really do anything, as they are not allowed to trespass in the home/site, and recovery cost through lawyers etc is more than money owed. Some of their clients openly go as far as saying "so sue me". It's a tough world out there.... You get your good guys and you get your scumbags. Problem is knowing on from the other. [/QUOTE]
