          Thanks guys ! Cant wait to get my hands dirty with all this . The idea of working for yourself is all over me. No explanations to the boss, no ( you name it )....

            Try not to get too carried away with the 'being your own boss' guff. Despite protestations on here, vast majority are still going to a place of work and being responsible to someone else for what they do.
            The co is simply a vehicle to process the revenue coming in and is a pain in the ass way of doing that most of the time. Seen a few people overly impressed with themselves when they start off and it doesn't ever impress friends or partners !
            Still, it's nice when the cash starts pouring in !

              You see, it is attitudes like that that make my blood boil.
              That is exactly the argument the IR use for IR35.
              If that argument were true then the only proper businesses in the world would be those who manufacture something and then sell it.

              Any company producing something for a client or providing a service to a client is responsible to the client for the period of the contract, or for the delivery of the ordered item.

              How the hell can we hope to argue IR35 when you are saying stuff like that.
              I am not qualified to give the above advice!

              Smith and Wesson.

              Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                I'd fully recommend Nixon Williams

                Been with them for two months now and they are very good.

                  I want to get the feeling that i am responsible for what i do - and i collect the benefits and the liabilities. I think workin as a permie tooo much can make u stupid ( i have 8 years exp ) .

                  Growing , while in a perm job , is basically licking someone's ass plus alot of luck. I am sure contracting is also about licking , but at least u can get the **** out of there if you cant handle it anymore.

                  My dream is to create ( be part of ) a company where contractors share values/knowledge and help each other to handle more easily the ****** IT progress. Theoretically, if you dont plan for grow/partnering ( and you are alone) , you should be doomed. What i mean is that, say you are on a 6 months contract for lots of money, you work all the time and do everything as expected ( yes including documentaion ). After 6 months you look around to find that MS has released 5 freakin versions of their 5 million products, and no one cares what u know anymore...

                    I live in Glasgow and Quay are in Poole. I've since changed to a recommended Accountant in Glasgow, meaning I can have face-to-face meetings which makes a big difference to me. I'm also paying a bit more (£90 per month) and getting better advice.

                    Cheers,

                    Mike
