Losses due to non-payment are part of business but you want to be taking steps to help mitigate risk. You aren't just losing money but also opportunity cost. Your lost time could have been spent working on another project or enjoying time with family.
There's nothing wrong with asking for some sort of upfront payment with not trusted parties. If full payment makes you uncomfortable, try 50%.
