Make location a planning detail

Discuss overlap hours, local holidays, language needs and the handoff rhythm early. These are ordinary project constraints, and naming them upfront lets a global relationship feel routine rather than fragile.

Keep terms understandable

Use a written agreement with a clear scope, currency, milestones and approval process. Clarity is especially valuable when neither party can rely on an informal office conversation to resolve a question.

Ready when you are

Turn a good agreement into a protected payment.

Set the terms, secure the budget, and only release after approval.
