    Going back into Perm

    seriously considering this for next year myself. Maybe for a few years... nothing to do with contracting, or supply of work, but more the changes around IR35 for public sector gigs, which means I would need to charge the ridiculous rates I hate to see to make it worth doing. it's ok though, I'm...

    Company Expansion

    Personally if I was confident my business was growing I'd employ them, that way they get a bit of security, perks and a good solid reliable salary, and you get continuity and high quality team. Yes they could leave, but they could as a subby You bear the risk, but if you dont want to play at...

    Funding plan B

    Well, I feel pretty fortunate to earn what I earn doing contracting, so as a matter of principle I don't use public funds that could help those who haven't got the resources I am fortunate enough to have. So I'll leave the other funding pots for people who need them. Tar for the steer though...

    Funding plan B

    You see, that is why you are viewed with such awe when you walk into the office and why your team high fives every time you arrive :happy

    Funding plan B

    Well, contracting may slowly be losing the charm, and so I am considering creating 1 or more alternative businesses. I am considering using some of the funds held within my company for this purpose. I always assumed I could set up a new ltd, transfer the funds as a loan and crack on - but...

    First Tesla Autopilot Death

    I'd imagine half the sensors getting ripped out might mess up the system somewhat.... Still a huge fan - the guy should have stood on the brake. That said, if a lorry pulled out on anyone at highway speeds there is no guarantee youd be ok.

    Contractor Car Advice

    an accounting colleague of mine told me years ago. Buy a lower than average mileage, slightly older car, solid, but not flash. Say...£3k worth. Use it, get your £.45 a mile - pocket the rather large benefit after the car pays for itself within the year. Flog the car for not much less than your...

    Would it be madness...

    best case scenario you get a gig and the timing is wonderful, you then give your notice (assuming you don't want to burn bridges and be a dick and the client is happy to wait for you) and you breeze into the gig and ace everything so they keep buying your services. Even if all that happens...

    Breakfast Brexit Merge

    well, I think it's interesting that the group in society that benefited from the housing price boom, the gold plated pensions and triple lock are saying that they don't want to hear about the youth being shafted. Yeah, guess it must be tough enough to look in the mirror :D

    Brexit Views on HMRC sheme enquiries

    Oh please, the Greek empire was huge, and led the thinking of the world - not doing so well now. The Aztecs were a fantastically advanced people, again, not so hot now. Egypt were THE world power for centuries....are they now? Vikings, ottomans - I could go on all day - the HISTORY of a...

    'Part time' contractors

    Yes, I've had a few weeks where "I haven't provided my services" :D (gotta be careful how you word stuff, NLUK is around and has us all running scared!) The point I'm making is, I figured I'd be working about 2/3 of the year, but as it stands I have been flat out and I wouldn't volunteer to sit...
