    [Nick Griffin] “Isn’t standard billing done by many others as well??”

    The larger companies that we work with are billed once or twice a month. If we didn’t do that, we would lose them.

    A friend of mine is a real stickler for getting paid on the spot and he wonders why companies don’t come back. Larger companies have accounting departments and certain procedures are to be followed. They understand that they might have to bend with a new vendor but after that, they expect you to respect their policies.

    On larger projects where we have a large cash outlay up front, we usually get a payment to cover our out of pocket.

    I am only 38 but I have still yet to see any partnership work out over time.
    There is a lot of value in being under one roof to feed one another while maintaining the motivation of being a sole proprietor. Freedoms not only allow that freedom feeling, the lack of what we see as security is quite motivating. Feel like a partner aint pullin his weight and you’ll eith let up to in order to not work more than he or boot him and start over. This is what I have seen, anyway.
