"Small" clients normally pay out of their own pocket. "Big" clients pay with the company's fund already allocated. It's easy to see why the "small" clients often want more for less. This is not true all the time, but in my 10+ years working in web development it's usually the case.
Several red flags to consider:
Clients keep changing ideas (they have new ideas every day)
Clients do not have a budget
Clients do not have a timeline (or have unrealistic timeline)
Clients do not want to spend time working with you in understanding and analyzing the requirements.
Clients do not work directly with you (you talk to their assistants, subordinates but never them)
Also when working with big corporations, add some markup. They usually have fairly complex precess, demanding legal department, multiple levels of reviews and approvals. Beware.
