So you’ve made that decision to use your skills to work as a freelancer. You land your first couple of gigs, some of them go according to plan, you get paid as promised and on time too. But what if it did not go according to plan? Here are a few things that could happen:

1) your client refuses to pay a mobilization fee in which case you have to fly blind
2) you put some work in and get into that vicious cycle of changes because your client made vague requirements
3) or worse, you put out some work and your client disappears on you…and appears a year later.

Freelancer valuing their freedom and flexibility, success depends largely on getting compensated for the work they put in. With Efiko Escrow Payment Protection you can now work with clients with a guarantee that all the work you do is funded before you start. You and your client work together with a trusted third party who ensures payment and work requirements are made and delivered as expected. What this means is, as a freelancer you only start working on jobs that have been funded; while as a client you only pay for work that you have received and approved.

At Efiko, Escrow Payment is built into the very heart of how you work. Efiko does this using funded-job-milestones. These act as escrow accounts where money paid by a client will be held in trust until you deliver on the requirements for a milestone.

After posting and subsequently awarding a job to you:

1) a client will create one or multiple milestones which divide the job into smaller items
2) each milestone is defined by a title, description of expected requirements, duration and a budget
3) while you as the freelancer will be required to review and approve that you can deliver on the terms of a milestone
4) even though the approval has been given it is highly recommended that you do not start the work until the milestone has been funded
5) the client must then fund each milestone prior to you starting that aspect of the job
