Seems like they are being very helpful in telling you they are a high risk vendor and I would look for another. The vendor should be able to afford the carrying costs of material and labor. I can see wanting to be paid quickly at the end of the job but I would like to hold back 10% for a couple of months to see if I had any problems.
