one of my clients is an electrical contractor, they charge 40% to start, on smaller jobs 60%. once work is done it is difficult to collect if the customer doesn't pay.(unless it's a bonded job of course)another client who does bulldozing just did a small job without any money down and the guy won't pay, now it's a pain in the a** to file a lien(has to be done in honolulu)for such a small amount. just thought i'd let you know there is a flip side. aloha
