  Why We Take Advance Payment — A Professional Perspective One of the most common questions clients ask is, “Why do you take an advance payment before starting the work?” It’s a fair question — and the answer goes beyond financial security.

Below are the key reasons why we follow this approach: 1. Encourages Seriousness and Active Participation When an advance is paid, both parties automatically become more engaged in the process. Clients show genuine interest and involvement, while our team becomes even more dedicated and focused on that particular project.
