john@AEC 37 Report post Posted July 28, 2006 G'day I'm in the process of putting together a large quote (my largest by a long way), and am considering asking for a deposit to cover most of the up-front chemical/equipment hire expenses. The job total is about $10,000 and I was thinking of 40% ($4,000) to be paid 14 days before I start, the client is a large national company who will probably take 30 days from end of month to pay (at best), so even if get an account with suppliers it will be due before I receive my payment. Has anyone done this before? were there any problems? Thanks, John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
