Why Use Deposits

Reduces no-shows. Customers with skin in the game are more likely to show up.

Confirms intent. A paid deposit separates serious customers from tire-kickers.

Protects your time. If someone cancels last minute, you keep the deposit.

Improves cash flow. Get partial payment before you even start the job.
