The trust problem

You're a freelancer and a client wants you to build their website. Or you're a client hiring a freelancer for a ₦5 million project with someone you've never worked with. Freelancers worry about not getting paid. Clients worry about paying upfront and never receiving deliverables. Bank transfers and verbal agreements don't solve this.
