One of the things that attracted me to tiling was the relative lack of risk ( one of my businesses went bust leaving me bankrupt, so lack of risk appeals to me lol ). By lack of risk I mean in general with tiling, there is no stock to carry, no large upfront payments to suppliers, no waiting for your money, no real staff overheads etc etc. With the job you are describing it sounds like all of these are going to come into play. If something goes wrong with this job and they withhold payment, you will still have to pay for materials purchased, labour costs etc. So how long could you wait for payment? I don't want to put a damp squib on this but I think you should feel nervous. If this job goes right you could make a nice few quid......but if it goes wrong, it could wipe you out. Obviously someone will end up taking the job if you don't, but do you really want to take the chance? I had 3 succesful businesses and one failed business.......guess which one I remember most lol.
If you do take it on I hope I am completely wrong, and sincerely hope you make a nice few quid
