Payment question...

[PrecisionSignServices]

I wanted to get your guys input on payment to smaller companies that are more dependent on faster cash flow.

I'm a sole proprietor and just completed a pretty large survey job (50 locations completed in two weeks). The company I did the work for typically pays in 30-45 days. I know that's kind of the norm for the bigger players, but my company is just me. So for you smaller companies or sole proprietors out there, or for the larger companies that deal with paying smaller companies or sole proprietors, are exceptions typically made and is payment expedited for those that are more reliant on it?

I know in the grand scheme of things exceptions don''t have to be made and business is business. But just curious what the norm is.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

I'lll be happy to do so. I just started my business at the beginning of the year, so my dealings are a bit limited at the moment. But I don't see the company I did the work for listed in there (surprising), so I'll be happy to post up my experience with them.

I'm kind of the odd-guy out on this site. I don't deal with electric signs. My focus is on surveys and non-illuminated sign installation (vinyl, plaques, etc.) so I don't have a ton to offer, but I do enjoy reading the various posts.
