Is there a list of agencies and clients that don’t pay on time or at all? If not, can we start one here?

I think a list of agencies that pay on time would be a lot shorter

funnylike

Smaller agencies I’ve worked for paid on time. In fact, I was on a shoot in LA and the co-owner said after the pre-pro, “I got to hit the bank so you can get paid!”

likefunny

Most small agencies don’t. Once the client pays the agency, they like to keep it in the bank for 2 months to collect free intere$t. It’s the reason they do it.

The current national average interest rate on savings accounts is 0.05%. Seems pretty pointless.

I mean like everyone pays on a delay right lol? I count it a good client when they only take a month for the first paycheck to hit.
