I have got a contract lined up through contacts. Unfortunately the company will not do direct contracts. Anyone know of a low cost agency (preferably fixed cost rather than %) which will act as my invoicing agency - I already have my own company and trying to avoid using an umbrella company.

I managed to get an agent down to 8% in this same scenario. I'd just ring around a few you know and see how low they'll go. In hindsight I probably should of got them lower !?Comment

8% sounds quite good,
where I am, contractors that come direct and the get rerouted to an agency (prefered) charge 4%, but thats for a big mult-national.Your parents ruin the first half of your life and your kids ruin the second halfComment

Would you factor someone's invoices and take the risk of non payment from a client that you had never dealt with, for less than 8%.
I certainly wouldn't

Nope, nor would mine. They're getting 4%
However I suspect the client relationship is quite strong!Blog? What blog...?
