Thank you! I feel the same. The only question I have so far, as a new business owner, how about when vendors dont work without a receiver or something like that?

Obviously have to tailor this a bit if you have specific requirements and I think this can work a bit differently around the world as well. But this is the way I personally like to work with as many suppliers as possible.

Absolutely! I've worked for designers who will only shop at the super super high end showrooms just to get that higher mark up and you can also put a noose around a clients neck and narrowing down the options available to the clients. Sometimes clients look at the item cost then once they add the mark up they don't approve the item and ask you to source an item with a lower cost. And the mark up/cost plus model is entirely shady. And 100% the paperwork and time it takes to do all that paperwork has to be billed back to the client! when working as an employee at previous firms there was a constant back and forth with clients as to why their invoices from the firm were so high. We already have a difficult enough time justifying our hours just for design services, if you add in management/paperwork hours it's even worse.

Interesting video. So are you still ordering, shipping, storing, and delivering their furniture?

No - for legal reasons I don't get involved in any orders with clients - this protects me from different aspects of that arrangement that I don't want to get involved with. I arrange the order with the supplier and then pass the invoice onto the client to pay and manage. I understand things work differently around the world - I'm in Australia and this was the way I chose to run my business. Designers do things in different ways
