This type of contract can be used for long-term work or recurring projects.

In this contract, the client divides the project into milestones and gives each one a rate. On the basis of the accepted milestone, the funds are disbursed. Short-term projects can use this kind of contract, regardless of the project size.

Pay on Demand Contractors
