Usually they are not meaning business references though.
I have reference sites if they want to visit my clients, but they way agences usually say it. They mean it in the same sense that you would provide references for a permie job.
Guess it depends if they want references for YOU, or your companyLast edited by Jason; 9 January 2008, 18:44.Comment

Surely you are a business, dealing with a business?
Soon as anyone starts talking about references I say. Excuse me, I am not applying for a job, references are not required.Comment

I heard a good idea the other day: If they want references, give them the contact details of the agency who dealt with your previous gig.
That'll stop them in their tracks.Comment
