My billing schedule -
Most of my jobs have very tight deadlines, less than a week or so, so it's not practical to request a percentage up front, and that's not how most magazines (the bulk of my clients) work. Nearly all US mags are 30 days from invoice and that's that.
For larger ad jobs, I'll request 50% paid to begin work and the remaining 50% upon completion and that usually works out. A company's creative department and accounting department aren't always in sync, so sometimes it takes some work.
