Hello,
I'm an engineering contractor, operating through a ltd company and I've been thinking about the possible options for trying to expand my one man (plus secretary) company. The main problem as I see it is that in order to be able to take on more business I would have to take on a member of staff or maybe subcon the work initially - not a problem in itself but mostof the work I get at the moment is due to the relationship I have with the client and I essentially get the work becuse they expect me to be the one carrying out the work, despite the standard right of substitution clause.
This seems like a bit of a hurdle and I'm just wondering if anyone has taken this route and can offer any advice.
Thanks,
John
