HI Jibspark..well i wouldn't feel happy leaving without a cheque / cash but i want to do whatever the norm is.maybe say if its below a couple of hundred, immediate payment is required but if its above that give them 14 days?
all agreed before hand of course.
this gives them time to go to the bank/building society over the weekend if they do not have the funds immediately available!"Full payment due within 10days of invoice following completion of work".
Concur with that "Sandra" ; \ :xI can't imagine a plasterer giving someone time to pay, they would'nt know how to make an invoice out methinks. Commercialy I get 30 and 60 days but they are trusted customers and those are their terms, its new customers and , dare I say it, builders you need to be careful of.Deke
One of my first investments was a laptop with porinter. For all domestic jobs I make a site visit, inspect the site in relation to the proposed work, and then print a quotation (if I think it is straightforward - giving a max price for the customer) or an estimate (if the job involves chasing, lifting boards, adding to only partially revealed circuits). If customer agrees to work, set a date (usually a week or more later) and then do job. On day of completion, print certificate and invoice - 95% pay up immediately. OK - laptop and printer costs
