Help! Anybody knows this agency?

[mcontracting]

Hi all

I recently closed a deal through an agency called Palm Mason.
It looks like it is a very small company, nobody heard of them before.
Does anybody know them? Should I be worried? (future payments, etc).

Thanks

Office is most likely virtual.

Only incorporated this year.

Website all but none existent

Guy registered the domain and company to tunbridge wells residential address


Looks like a small partnership to me.


I wouldn't let them hold on to too much of my cash for very long. I'd be invoicing weekly.

very small company

Should I be worried?

Yes

I recently broke my own rule and went with a small Co again, I got paid in the end but a few palavas along the way. Saying that, if it's a good job and there's nowt else on offer then take the gamble. Push hard for short payment terms ie. you don't want to be owed 2 months money before you realise there is something wrong

jeez.... i am scared now...

jeez.... i am scared now...

What payment terms have you negotiated??

I would insist on invoicing weekly with max 14 day payment terms. After 14 days I would stop working until payment was received.

Its all about risk management with small agencies. Dont become their credit buffer between them and end client.

I still have to go and sign next week with them.
The only thing I know so far is that they pay 4 weeks after invoicing
I'll try to negotiate as you say...

But... is it likely that sometimes small agencies don't pay??

Sorry I am new to this contracting world
