I've been asked to quote for a large job (large, that is, for a sole trader like me) for a company that is in receivership, but is trading normally.
My costs will only be time and diesel - I'm in Dublin, they're in Kerry.
Is it reasonable to ask for some of the fee up front? If so, what percentage would be advisable?
Any other advice on how to act in these situations?
Worst case scenario, I don't get paid and I write it off. But, I've never been in this situation before and I'd like to go in with my eyes open.
Thanks as always.
