Ask If a client offered to pay upfront in full with no contract, would you accept?

[Brendan]

Getting all your money before you even start working sounds like a dream come true for most people who work for themselves. However, doing a job without a written agreement can be very risky because the client might keep changing their mind about what they want. A contract is a paper that protects both people, so working without one leaves you with no real safety. If someone offered you a large bag of cash today without signing anything, would you take that risk?
