PAX are never late
This is corporate aviation, we exist to help the PAX succeed and/or to provide them a safe, comfortable experience that THEY are paying for. They are never late, you are just ready early. They, or their peeps should be made aware of any timing issues well prior to the flight. If you then miss a slot, run out of crew rest, etc... you politely explain what happened and what options you are working on to get them on their way.
