Wow. You are really not cut out for agent work are you?never said I was, as I said in the first post, it's just an idea that I'd like some feedback on.
A) Handcuff clauses will not allow you to do thisI personally don't have a handcuff clause and a couple of the other contractors don't, would have to check with the others.
B) Do you have the time to manage all these contractors from personal experience, there is no managing involved, I havnt spoken to my agent in nearly a year.
C) Do you have the funds to not get caught out if the client pays late yes.
D) Do you think the contractors want to go with you? What is in it for them? more money.
E) Are you on the clients PSL?what is psl?
F) Do you not think the client is likely to finish you if you encourage all their contractors to hand their notices in?not if they know what is going on, I wouldn't keep anyone in the dark.
G) With no processes in place is that margin really enough for you to spend time sourcing contractors, interviewing them and then managing them going forward. I wouldn't source any new contractors, just take over the current ones. If the client needs more, then that's a different issue that would need looking into.
H) Have you considered the start up costs of getting contracts drawn up and legally checked as well as some form of admin tools, insurances and the like.
I thru to Z) which I am sure there are.no, any idea on rough costs?
Very very poorly thought out idea. Stick to contracting. maybe, maybe not.

You kinda see now you have gotten to the next level of your idea the whole thing is just way beyond your grasp. Not knowing what a PSL is? Bloody good start if you want to become a supplier to a client.
Way out of your depth and a total lack of understanding what your offering to the client it is. He really won't be interested in putting his projects at risk for the saving of a couple of quid, which is probably going to be written off by the time taken to set all this up and manage it.
I would bet every new contractor has had this idea and not one of them did anything about it so back to contracting.
