Billing Multiple Clients on a Common Project

January 22, 2014 forum topics
I was looking through some old proposals and found a unique production situation I have not experienced since then. I had three seperate clients that wanted to produce an instructional video. They all had their own system to demonstrate and they were all going to pay identical production costs seperately and not split the cost of production. It never materialized because of their scheduling conflicts and the required travel to the shoot location but I was adequately paid for scouting locations for a few weeks.

Has anybody else had a situation like this? If you were approached by several people would you quote them a single production cost and allow them to split it or would you charge them for the entire cost seperately? Thanks
