I am a JV Manager for Hire. I can get affiliates out of the wazzu. I have recently came across a client who is wanting to utilize my services because he knows that I am really good at what I do.

Why am I coming here to ask the question? I have requested money as far as the start up fees, such as advertising, getting threads paid for, etc.

He has indicated to me that he will not put any money upfront to cover basic costs.

Is this a red flag that you would stay away from? Most my other clients have no problems paying start up costs and most will even ask me what my upfront fee is.

Am I missing something or is this the rare cheap apple?
