Financing Kilts, What Are Some Options?

[Riverkilt]

Thanks Matt,

The intent of my post was to seek "different" financing methods. Each kiltmaker chooses for themselves the terms they wish to offer customers - based on their experience. I understand that.

What I am hoping for is finding out which kiltmakers have come up with something other than the "pay up front and wait" system. I fully understand the reason most kiltmakers chose to use that system and don't blame them...just wondering if there are other ways out there.

Obviously, every kiltmaker is going to attempt to shorten the jones time so they can keep customers happier. Some have more success at that than others.

So far, it looks like Matt Newsome and Kathy Lare are working the two payment system which can be paid off sooner if desired. And, Steve Ashton waits to bill for the kilt until he's ready to cut.

There, that's three kiltmakers using two payment systems different than "pay up front and wait."

Any other creative financing ideas out there? That's all I'm interested in - some new ideas in financing that are mutually beneficial and/or reassuring to both the kiltmaker and their clients.

Thanks,

Ron
