OK thanks guys for your advice... I’ll try to do my best with the payment terms... If I don’t get nothing better, at the first moment that they have a delay on payment I’ll talk with the client and will change agency straight away!

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

One of the common problems with small agencies is that they only have one or a few clients and if one of those gets into trouble or has a problem paying the agency, then there are likely to be problems paying the contractors as well.

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 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

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.

Does anybody know them? Should I be worried? (future payments, etc).
