Mantor Limited option

We keep losing sight of the fact that it is us that provide the skills and the clients who provide the money. We really shouldn't be treating the EBs as the prime movers, they are supposed to be facilitators.

I know the current reality is that the EBs have sold themselves to the clients as the key supplier, but they aren't, we are. Let's at least keep that clear in our own heads and don't let the EBs bully you into changing your world to cover their risks.

I agree, but at the end of the day if the EB stops the client seeing your CV you're stuffed

I am assuming hays wanted the report from me to prove I was company director of my own company and not a disguised MSC. They do not want to see the company director being another company or someone not linked directly to the consultant. They are running scared from the third party liability from the new rules.

Them pushing for a true limited company with a single employee, (the consultant) will limit you from employing more staff. They will have to make allowance should you take on a second, third… consultant.

I believe Hay have always had a preferred supplier list when it comes to umbrella and what were MSC. Should they drop to back to big 4/5 only, that can only be good for use limited companies as less competition for roles and force some of the dodgy ones out the market.
