Work with advanced payment May 15, 2002

Olga: Depending on the size of the translations I ask my clients to make a 35% deposit. So far it has worked for me. If it\'s a small translation I just hope that they are honest people and pay.

Hope it helps you!



Regards,



Dinorah

In any case, an honest person or company will not be offended if you demand (part) payment up-front.
