Ask HN: Best companies that help consultants make sure they get paid?
I started doing some consultant work in the bay area and I am shocked by how hard is to get companies to pay you at the end of the work. In my case, that means 50% of the total.
Many companies just stop replying and, even when I get the money, it often takes a significant amount of time (and stress).
Is there any good company that can take care of this? By for instance giving you X% of the money up front and then they take care of collecting the 100% and keep the delta. I tried to look into debt collection agencies but seems a very messy world totally unfamiliar to me.
