On the other hand, I see a couple of consultants and service professionalssuppliers, in particular, and take every sixth minute blocks of time and billing customers an hourly rate for it. Every so many hours in a professional company, and any support person, but one day, weeks, months and years. They reach their maximum billable hours, and then a new resource to add to society. As a customer, I always wonder if I just pay while talking on the phone with my accountant, and he asked me about my vacation … Dik, cross …

The best wayit is deferred shares. For example, you always paid more quickly if you have not started the project after you start receiving money. If the project is of five months, for example, and leave most of this amount will be calculated at the end, will not be paid for eight months.
