Card payments to a company account, an itemised invoice, and never a large cash deposit to a personal account.
A modest deposit to secure the date, the balance on arrival after your in-person assessment confirms the plan. Payment goes to a registered company account, and you receive an itemised invoice with the company's tax number.
Requests to transfer to a personal account, pressure to pay the full amount before assessment, prices that change after you arrive, and 'discounts' available only if you decide today. Any one of these justifies walking away.
Card offers the strongest protection through chargeback rights. Bank transfer is common for larger amounts and is fine to a company account. Carrying large cash sums through customs is both risky and unnecessary.
If imaging on the day changes the plan — a tooth that cannot be saved, bone that needs grafting — the price should change transparently with it. That is only possible if you have not already paid in full.
Yes, an official itemised invoice with our company details is issued for every treatment.
