Those sort of businesses can easily go under and fold up suddenly, leaving you holding the tab for any expenses. Make sure you get them paid out as often as possible.

Any employer that operates out of their home and pays cash is sketchy as fuck, I would only work for them if I were desperate.

I got offered to do escort transport. Even though the money is good, its not worth the risk.
