Minimum agency percentages?

I think I should become an agent. Keep 6 people in work and make a 6 figure salary from the beach!

I've often wondered why I don't do this myself.

I've got one so far but that's a sub-contractor and it makes me only £40/day. Just need another 9...

I'd guess that's not so easy. If you think it is, start with keeping 1 contractor in work: yourself.

Also, if you are an agent but you work for an agency rather than completely on your own, who do you think makes the most money for the least work? I'd say the agency, not the agent.

I think as soon as you start trying to measure what people do for their money then you are playing an irrelevant game. In my view the best margin is whatever you manage to negotiate. Also bear in mind that if you want the margin to go down then who is to say that the client should not get a discount rather than you get a raise?
