New contract with suspicious agency

It hasn't been resolved yet.
We are still negotiating the contract terms).
For some reason (which I haven't figured out yet),
this agency adopted a tough negotiation position.

Put 3/4 of your effort into finding another contract.

Firstly, not all of "our" limited companies have very limited assets. If you are building up a warchest in your company, then nor would you - depending on your definition of "very limited", of course.

Secondly, what's the debt to capital ratio? How much debt have you got in your company compared to the assets that you have? I'd guess that it's low or nothing.

Thirdly, where is the risk to the client? If you go bust then they find someone new; if the agent goes bust then they generally go it with your money, so you are taking the bigger risk.

Looks like you're comparing apples with oranges in your analogy.

Sorry - I've not been in contracting very long at all so my warchest in my ltd. is limited! (see whut I did thurr?) I also forgot that cash in the bank counts as an asset - thank you for reminding me; still learning every day!
