The problem is I have a lot of ongoing expenses so would help my cash flow a lot to get full payment now, especially as some of my events will be scheduled 1-2 years out and venues need early deposits. Also there is extra administrative work for additional billing, telephone calls, and as you mention some risk of not getting all the money.
