No I actively avoid commercial now for that very reason. I have about 5 commercial jobs I've had a while and they're all on GC. I work for myself and that's how I like it so I'm able to set the rules I'm happy with. Im not even taking work on at the mo so I'm in a good position to set my terms as I do. Trust me most don't get chance to drop me as I drop them before the hassle begins ?Ime guessing you don’t do any commercial work then as it’s 28 day payment by 99% of them . As has been said each to there own we always have around 5-8 k outstanding theses days but cash flow into the bank is very good and I don’t have a problem with that . I agree the works done and you should be paid., but many wait until the end of the month when they get paid to settle there bills and I feel that’s fine , if I had a window cleaner hassle me after a few days chasing money I would tell him what to do .
As I said in my original post everyone runs their business as they choose and I respect people who choose to allow longer payments as that is their right. As is my right as my business to set 3 days. I just don't agree with people saying you're in the wrong game if you arent prepared to wait, or that you need to get some money behind you. It's completely your right as your business to set your terms.
