    I used them in 2007, and they did weekly invoicing then - I had to complete a weekly timesheet, sent in an invoice with it and it was paid the following week (just checked my records). All paper-based, though, so hopefully they have moved on since then.

    The guy I used to deal with left, though, and went to Oracle Contractors instead.

    You can do a credit check through duedil or if you are an IPSE member you can do one with a discount through there - don't know how much either costs. Maybe ping SafeCollections a PM here, as they have done checks before for people, I think.

    They've been around for a while (since 1995 according to their website)

        ...

        You can use this one to get a quick view of their last reported trading position and to see whether their accounts are up to date.

        No idea how much they charge for a full search though (£2.00 per doc I think) , but the freebie does give you info about CC judgements and charges on file though

          A lot of contractors at my last gig were through them. Looked like weekly timesheets (paper) with weekly payment as far as I could tell from the stuff left on the printer/photocopier.

            Have a look at IPSE. They have something to help if an agent goes under I believe.

              Just like to point out that something being urgent for you doesn't mean it's urgent for anyone else. Hence I've edited your subject.

                  Square One used to be the daddies of SAP recruitment in the UK. Then they (allegedly) screwed over a number of their best guys who upped and left. It'll be a remarkable turnaround if they are now struggling.
