Best Way Forward

[EternalOptimist]

Ok then I've been thinking about leaving my permanent job and going contracting. The company I work for do not have a problem with this and I would like any advice that anyone can give me on the best way forward.
What is the best way to do it, LTD company, work through an umbrella company etc etc.

Getting the first contract is the easy bit, you can take your time, hesitate, change your mind , string your permie co along etc.
Getting the second contract is the tough bit. Its THEN that you need to have about 8k in the bank that you can afford to lose.
There is no best way to do it, I am limited but you have to make your own way my friend, and good luck to you. I would alse recommend a contractor style sense of humour implant, because you wont get much sense out of the f*ckers on here but you will get a laugh

...err not exactly the most ideal time. I would hang on for a year, the economy looks like it could go into melt down. The financial markets are panicking, .........
........ Armageddon looks like a walk in the park compared to the economic outlook right now. Good luck..

Isn't this true most of the time
I've never seen anyone here recommend that "NOW" is the best time to go contracting.

Depends what your skills are. If you want to be a freelance doom-monger, or a freelance sniper in the coming civil war then perhaps now is a great time.
