Director Disqualification
Collapse

-
It might be tough for some. I started looking a month ago and have turned down 4 roles in the last 2 weeks - 3 of which were on higher rates than the last few years. But I tend to work in pharma/medical and with products, not just pushing money around.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymore -
you're right.... however fiancial probity IS a requirement... And being disqualified from being a director is strong evidence of an extreme lack of financial probity.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostThere is nothing legally stopping a disqualified director working in finance, however an institution may have a rule that they don't hire anyone who is disqualified.
It is a subtle but important distinction.
I don't think he'd stand a chance *if they check the disqualified lists*. I don't know what is checked from a BPSS perspective.See You Next TuesdayComment

Hi
Did you manage to secure a contract whilst being a disqualified director?
I'm currently in the same boat. But the contract is within the financial sector inside IR35.Comment

Umbrellas are much of a muchness. You won't get a better payout as you say from one of them over another. The rules are the same for all. All that is difference is the amount they charge you to use their service. But again they are usually very similar. You just need to chose one with a good reputation who will pay you on time without issues. Have used Parasol, Giant, PSR and all are good. Brookson were awful.Originally posted by oldbond1 View Postumbrella
