Credit??

[Willem Blees]

If you're referring to the balance due as "credit", then, yes, that's the usual procedure. I get half down, with the balance due upon completion. There are some techs that require a third down, with the balance due at the end. Some techs require a third down, a third about half way into the job, etc. I've even heard of some techs who get 10% down, and?a schedule of payments spread out over the length of the projected time it is going to take, with the balance of 10% of the balance due at the end. Do what?ever?works best for you.

List,
?? 
? I noticed in the "G" Piano Works Labor Repair Guide, at the end where
he has his piano evaluation worsksheet and write up, there is space at
the bottom of the page called a "Payment Schedule".? It has a space to
write amounts for the down payment, and amount per month.
?? 
? Do any of you extend credit to clients if work is going to run in the
thousands?
???
