I normally do development work and stage payments according to the length of the project and how well I know the company/have worked with them before.
Got a job on at the moment where i'm supplying and fitting a load of PC kit to a company that i've not worked with before.
Been many years since i've taken on this kind of job so what is the generally accepted stages of payment that any of you use?
- Full cost of PC kit invoiced and paid for before gear is left on site then installation billed seperately
- Partial payment of say 70% in advance to secure kit
- Small payment of 30% in advance to secure kit then rest on completion
- Other
Say its for 3K's worth of kit + 1K's worth of installation service + sundry OS, Sage and Office licenses, what would you bill and when?
(Obviously easy to say all kit cost upfront before I leave it on site but guess this wouldn't be acceptable to many businesses who'd want the kit on site and verified as working before they shell out a big portion of the cost, I certainly would!).
