I´ve been out the trade for a fair old while now but plan to return.
For self-employed sparks, I wondered with the economic climate on the slide, which methods of payment and conditions do you accept?
For example, domestic work - do you explain that payment is required immediately after the work is completed (on the spot invoice)? Or do you issue a 30 day invoice? Or half now, half on completion? etc etc.. Ditto comercial work. For those of you who give time for the customer to make payment (eg bank transfer) how often do you get let down and have to chase them up?
What about if you are a sub contractor? Or working on say 3 phase stuff in a factory - that company (with no maintenance dept) contracting your company ...or an agency contracts you? (As above questions apply).
Thanks in advance.
