It depends how quickly the client pays really - but we have usually been waiting between 2 and 3 months for commercials - for modelling we have waited up to 6 months, still, it is nice when it arrives

I agree with missmoneypenny adverts can take up to 3 months tv and films seem to get paid a lot quicker and BBC usaly get paid very quick by law the money has to be paid to u within 14 days of agent reciving it. Differnt with modeling agencys when u join have to sign some thing to say that u agree to being paid quartly do not really understand why modelling agencys get away with that

How long is a piece of string? No, seriously it does take a very long time 6-8 weeks I have found but some TV companies quicker. Stage tends to be slower in my experience.
Re: how long before you get paid
It also depends on the type of advert. You might get your bsf (basic studio fee) within 2 or 3 months but if there is a buyout and the advert is not being shown until say Easter then you will prob have to wait until just before Easter to get the cash. Do you have an airdate?
