Big Vic,

How do you schedule your client payments? In other words, when do you collect the other 2/3?

Over the years I've tightened up my receivables pretty well. Not as tight as Bill Schwab, but tighter than many. We get 20% at the time of signing, 50% the day we start, and 30% invoiced at completion, due net 15.

Commercial work you kinda have to play ball with them, but residential we stick to our contract.
