5 Ways Private Investigators Accept Client Payments
INTERMOUNTAIN PI PODCAST | EP. 30 | 1/21/2020 | 5 WAYS PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS ACCEPT CLIENT PAYMENTS
Utah private investigator Scott Fulmer with 5 ways private investigators accept client payments. Business magnate and philanthropist Sir Richard Branson said, “Never take your eyes off the cash flow because it’s the lifeblood of business.” In fact, businesses fail for one reason and one reason only: Lack of cash. Cash is king. To rephrase a quote made popular in the City of the Big Shoulders: Get paid early and get paid often.
Let’s talk about the 5 ways private investigators accept client payments. Obviously, there are more than five ways. But the goal is to give your client plenty of ways to put their money in your pocket.

If there’s any question as to the authenticity of the cashier’s check just take it to your bank and have them review it.
The third of the 5 ways private investigators accept client payments is through mobile payment services. For example, apps such as Venmo, PayPal and Facebook Payments.
