    I charge 50% up-front to new clients. You shouldn't be asking for the 50% up-front, you should be informing them that is the standard procedure in the industry. I always pay close attention to how they react when I first tell them it will be "50% up-front." Their reaction helps me decide if a contract with specific terms is going to be necessary.

    If a client suggests that they won't pay until the work is completed, you probably don't want their business.
