Invoice weekly incase agency goes bust?

[BrowneIssue]

When Plexian went down the pan circa 2001, one of my mates had many months of outstanding timesheets. He used to invoice when he became skint, about 3 times a year, and lost something like three month's money.

Loose a lot of pounds? How do you loose pounds? Loose isn't even a verb.

Loose cannon: it's rolling around the deck.

Lose cannon: when it rolls off the deck and into the briny.


(see sig).

Until you bill, it's still their money. Make it yours.

Astoundingly, the money that has been earned solely by your work, is not yours until the agency has paid the invoice. If anything happens before you get it, the money is someone else's.

Progressive

Progressive are extremely unlikely to go under. They've been around for years, have a huge client base and huge margins.

Having said that, there are many other reasons why I would never ever ever work through them.

Margin wise they are taking 13% between me and the client paying 45 per hr.

Progressive aren't amazing, but then no one is perfect. What reasons do you have not work through them?

My problem was I got stuck going through them as they were the only ones with the gig i wanted.

Cheers, richy
