Recently I wrapped up doing work for a startup company who I had worked with for a period of 5 years on and off.
I guess the fact that they are around 5+ years means they are not really a startup ...
Anyhow - the company secured angel investment around 2009/2010 and really never was profitable.
Once the angel investment funding ran out cashflow problems ensued.
I've now got my P45 from the company and the company principal was asking to see if I could do some training/handover sessions with them (software development/design).
He named a day rate.
They now appear to have a short term contract with a client.
However, in the past when push came to shove it was difficult to get paid for work on time.
What is the best way for me to setup an arrangement to do a couple of days of work for them and be sure that I will get paid ?
Is there a way for me to ensure that they put the cash aside for my work ?
Or is it all risk ??
