Would you take a short gig with long payment terms during this period?

The reason we use them is because it allows us to offer contractors weekly payment with 1 week terms...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Wouldn't see it an an issue, I have IPSE+, once the first month is down then you'll get paid monthly anyway... have done this before without issue and it all works out the same at the end of the day. The tangible challenge will be getting your client to sign off timesheets (where required) before the monthly deadline so that you're not deferring too much into the next month... but again, it all comes to you at the end of the day (well, month)⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

I don’t trust insurance products either, at least from what I’ve seen they are good at “buying peace of mind” and only that.
I am pretty sure that if I were to make a claim for 30k the insurance company would put more man power for themselves to get out of it than sorting it out for myself. It is just how business is. Would you start a fight with defenseless small guy or mid-size agency with legal department that “have been around the block”?
One of the gigs went silent. The second one, had a first chat with one of the directors, second chat to follow next week including the main guy. Small consultancy around London, seem decent and I think I could be of better use there than somewhere else.
I’ve developed quite a strong anti-corporate, anti-politics tendency and trying to figure my way around that.

Both 2 month gigs with small agencies. One of them mentioned weekly invoices(albeit the interview appointment failed to arrive so far).
Both assumed 30days payment terms so payment might arrive after you've left clients site.
Would people take them? Considering the risk of non-payment, racking up additional expenses?
30 is fine.Comment
