Business bank account
Nope I am with A&L, no problems whatsoever...Good customer service (I forgot my online details so had to use them :emb ), phone and internet works great...And fantastic interest rates...But most of all, an online CHAPS facility which I quite like...And don't charge as much for CHAPS as some of...- dejongj

Is that true, that sounds almost too good to be true? How that does doing these kind of things reflect on the S660 Arctic Systems case?- dejongj

Limited company and Subsitance
Very similar rules apply to HMRC staff, so one way of looking at it would be why it would be different for another company.... Me, I claim the difference between the cost of lunch at my office compared to the cost of a lunch at a clients place of business. A few slices of bread at my office...- dejongj

Based around that minimum of £5k to include Cater Allen and based upon instant access...Cater Allen is of-course free with a limit and a minimum amount in the account....A&L Free and Unlimited for 2 years, then free and unlimited with a minimum of £1k.... Cater Allen 2.68% (Reserve) 0.68%...- dejongj

firing your agent
Even if the agent is taking 100% more than they are paying me I wouldn't be bothered as I agreed and was happy with a rate that I accepted....When I found out and come renewal time I would confront the agency and want a bit more...However if it makes my company too expensive come renewal time...- dejongj

Other contractors putting me at risk?
How would they know who else is working there on site? Didn't think they have a database of everybodies contracts, nor that an enquiry would allow for getting a copy of all names of other companies on that site and through the agencies... I think you are worrying about nothing...- dejongj

Agency is cheating me
What the agency is paid through the client is non of your business...You've entered a contract that you were happy with....I would advice not to involve the client mid-contract....Hey if you think the job deserves someone to be paid more money, then by all means try and renegotiate at renewal...- dejongj
