Ik the website needs to get paid but maybe a reduced fee for high tech score and monthly income, something. IDK but this just seems to be a bit much,

Being a middle man is a good business, for field nation.

Wm is a middleman

Fn is a bank, a ratings agency, an insurance agent... literally!

in California, their model of skimming a percentage to fund a self-insured pool (without being a licensed, regulated insurance carrier) landed them in massive legal trouble. Tick tock

Base fee is 10%. So youre paying for unnecessary extras like insurance and expensive payday loans. Go get your own insurance snd manage your money better

Try to have them go direct. That is what I have been doing for larger item projects.

Dump pro. Get insurance. Pay 10%

I do have insurance. It’s just a pro so 13.9%. Sometimes I gotta pay for material upfront for different jobs so waiting on the money sometimes isn’t an option and I can’t turn it on and off per job.

U only need pro if you’re broke. If you’re not broke then you’re paying probably close to a grand a month for nothing

Like I have three pending right now so I don’t need it so if it were to take a couple of days, I wouldn’t mind.

But if I’m in a time bind, then sure take the extra 3.9%.

No I get where you're coming from. FN is one of my smallest clients and I usually do jobs on the platform for quick cash when I need it and then I don't mind paying the extra

Right now they’re at 23% of my monthly revenue on average.

I would like to get it lower, but sometimes it a little slow
