Commercial customer - just shy of £5k.  90 day payment terms is the reason it gets so high. Also have another customer that currently owes £2.8k.

Domestic customer - £60 (2 cleans)
you have some big commercials to be owed that mate

A single customer that we do between £1500 and £2500 a month for. The payment terms are 60 days from month end so the figure owed can get quite big. A good payer though.
single customer? what do you clean?

€60 (about 50 quid) 3 cleans. Took one dozy cow to court for a 40 quid bill. Cost her over 350 quid in court costs in the end. Wouldn't do that again. We don't do more than two cleans without payment now.

Had an army sergeant who claimed I was damaging his "human rights" by demanding payment for two cleans, and claimed I was breaking the law in finding out what unit he was in as that was under the data protection law!!! He paid the two cleans he owed, plus about 150 quid costs too  ::)roll

He asked me at one point how I found out what unit he was in. I said I typed "fat prat in 2 LSR" into Google, and his was the first name that came up. Mong.

i cant imagine cleaning a commercial job every month worth £1,500-£2,500 a pop!!

if you lose the job for whatever reason its one hell of a chunk of income to lose!

i stick to domestics mainly although i have got a few commercial jobs but nothing on dannys scale!! ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

Your right Daz that's the I lt downfall with good paying commercial jobs, you lose them not through bad work but if they close or move far out but were pretty lucky as we got a fair chunk of good paying jobs. If we lose one or to which we have we still have enough plus we pick up stuff now and then. I'm getting a new 7 storey block through a management co in April, I do the communal windows not flats they do them there selves but is cleaning the communal landings & stairs 7 floors once a week so good lil earner and a new small block up the road. We do a fair bit of cleaning to communal and wife does quite a few internal cleaning to care homes one good thing it's nice to do when it's cold or raining heavy !!! 👳👳👳

It's not a single job. Many smaller jobs but for the same company.

Losing larger contracts is always a worry, we have lost a £15k annual contract as of next April which stings, but we also picked up a £8k contract almost the next day so that softens the blow.

I know a guy that has 95% of his work for the same company, if he was to lose that he wouldn't have any income. Spreading your workload is key imo.

I understand what you mean. I had about 80% of my work from ISS when I first started in this game mate. Well paid jobs and loads of work. Before you realize it, you're really employed. I had so little time for picking up more of my own work, and if they ever paid late, I was really in the poo.

That's why I decided to get my own work, and no subby stuff. All small commercial or domestic. If I lose one or two now, no big deal, easy to replace. Better than losing a 10000 quid hospital contract with only six months warning etc.

Depnds what you want really. Some want an empire, some want a stress free life.

Are you 100% domestic then Bob?

I know what the answer would be if I started asking a hospital/health centre/national builder/block management company for instant payment!

the first one wanted a lower price, only a £10.00 but i said fine if you pay cash on the day and we agreed

the second one is a block management company

I'm owed a massive apology from a slag who accused me (wrongly) of scratching her windows with wfp and who then called the police on me to complain that I had threatened her and got me receiving a 'don't do that again' letter from them.

This amount owing will never be paid, and therefore this biatch will ALWAYS be in my debt, and rot in hell along with it and the rest of her wretched, devil-forsaken family who will all die premature and agonising deaths.
