I'd also recommend Freelancer Finacials. They've done the full suite for mortgage types for me. Half perm/half contractor, full contractor, insideIR35, new mortgage, renewal and Buy to lets so they've had to work hard with me. Never straightforward but wouldn't go anywhere else....

Well the tulips hit the flan.

Ahh now things slot in to place. So knowing that my response would be JFDI but make sure you've taken your tin foil hat off before you take the photo....

[northernladuk]

Just sounds like they are trying to get everything done in one go rather than going back and forth. If they are used to 99% of people passing screening and starting why not do it all at once. Don't think there is anything to be particularly concerned about.

I think you are well within...

[northernladuk]

Was having a think about this and I might be tempted just to get on with it. First off the agency has to find out you are still there which they might not if it's a big client and then the agency has to kick up a fuss at which point you point out you are clearly not encroaching on their work so the...

I don't think there is any second guessing. Indirectly covers a wide range of activities including yours so pretty slam dunk.... except.... there are laws around restraint of trade and the handcuffs have to be fair to stand. The handcuff is there to protect the agencies revenue stream quite rightly...

[northernladuk]

To be fair I can't argue with that. If all said and done you've jumped through every hoop, been totally honest, they've understood it and they still pay it then you've got a right to do it and my ire should (as maybe it should have all along) be aimed at the system that lets situations like this wo...

Problem is he's more likely to get it incorrectly as the 'droid' cannot handle complexity. He will, fraudulently, claim he's not working, tick the boxes the droid wants to hear and the droid will rubber stamp it. He won't furnish them with the true situation so they won't need to deal with the comp...

Does it balls. Millions of businesses don't have income for periods of times. Next time I walk past the local hairdressers and cafe and they've no customers in I'll pop in and advise they claim JSA.

Also it's not about business income. It's about you working. Again, loads of businesses...

Brave isn't the word I'd use....

You aren't out of WORK. You are out of CONTRACT. Your work is running your business. Is a guy running a shop out of work when he's not selling something to a customer? Is he out of work when he's closed the shop and can't sell anything doing inventory, cash etc?...

[northernladuk]

You are working. You are looking for, applying for and interviewing for contracts. That is standard work for any business. Even pausing your payments is work carried out for your business. You are mixing up a contract vs working for your limited.

I thought contractors would have got past...

[northernladuk]

Using a bit of common and reading between the lines your income is the salary you pay yourself. Pausing it to claim no income should be classed as fraud. That's disgraceful and morally repugnant. You are lowering yourself to Pyscho Candy levels.

Just because you have the ability to dick...

NorthernladyUK is still selling her wares. For 50 quid you really can....

Got to pay for all those people illegally claiming benefits don't they....

How can you have a company car yet think you are unemployed?

The company paying for the car is a form of remuneration so you'll be committing fraud telling them you've no income coming in.

[northernladuk]

It's a bloody disgrace if you are and a disgrace you think you are....

[northernladuk]

Yeah. You aren't out of work. You are marketing and selling yourself for your next gig. You are a business and part of that is looking for work. So you are carrying out your business, you just don't have any income at the moment. You are still a director, officer of the company and benched resource...

[northernladuk]

Have you asked your accountant?

[northernladuk]

Great post that thank you very much. If I was a miserable old git I'd be hacked off you've now made it easier for 500 chumps to apply for the role I took time and effort to find but hey ho

Interesting to see there is a Interim Finance Director reporting to the CFO. I thought that...
