[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 141526, member: 172"] Re: Money up front How is this an unfair comparison? If you exclude cross-rentals (which are either a business decision based on business plan, or specifically requested by the client, and so should be billed separately) and business overhead (telephone, rent, etc.), the expenses the sound company incurs are time (labor), fuel, and opportunity cost. There's also equipment depreciation, but that's generally a fixed capital expense. Interestingly enough, a freelancer also has the same expenses, although perhaps to a lesser extent (including the equipment depreciation if the freelancer is bringing any tools, and business overhead). If I show up to a gig as a freelancer and don't get paid, I'm out gas money and potentially more if I turned down other work. [/QUOTE]
