10X Management represents me. I write my own opinions, I don't speak for them.
Net 90 seems way too long. When I freelanced solo I specified net 15, expected my customers to read that as net 30. Various solutions address the cash flow and slow pay/no pay problem such as up-front deposits and escrow. I prefer retainer arrangements rather than hourly or fixed-fee, but not every customer will do that, and it doesn't suit every project.
Freelancers and their customers should avoid getting into the situation where one side owes the other a lot of money, or time/work. Breaking the project down into small, measurable tasks with clear deliverables and prices prevents conflict at the end of the project, when problems surface.
One of the big players in the contracting agency business is Toptal. You might want to see how they handle the details. I have never worked for/through them but I know several people who have.
