For my hourly and per project clients, I have the following terms set-up:

Hours are billed in 15-minute increments with a one-hour minimum required, unless otherwise specified; a 50% deposit on the signed contract agreement/quotation is required prior to commencement of work with the remainder to be paid in full prior to delivery of the completed project.

I am curious to know what type of policies you have set up for similiar clients. Also, I have noticed through some other threads that a lot of you invoice twice a month. How would you handle the invoicing if you DO require that the balance be paid in full PRIOR to delivery of a completed project? You wouldn't have "set terms" (i.e. Net 15) per se, rather invoicing as you go. I am basically looking for the most efficient way to handle my invoicing.

Thanks!
