    Legal help needed

    I am trying to explore legal options how to get payment from the agency and client. The agency compeled to sign the opt out; it was one of the mandatory forms that I needed to sign to get the contract out. I had done the interview earlier and so the introduction was already done, and so I am...

    Remote contract for Irish (RoI) client

    No Need to set up an Irish company I guess. Just get a Euro account from Transferwise, and give that to the agency to pay in. Where you pay your tax should be determined by where you work and not by the agency. I work for Irish companies from UK and all the taxes are paid by UK ltd as advised by...

    Contractor Financial(No Fee) vs Contractor Mortgage Made Easy (Fee)

    The only thing that is different between CMME and CF, is the level of service. I have dealt with CMME in past, and you get a response straight away through email or phone. CF are a bit slow in responding. This means more back office staff to support the paper work at CMME. Have you tried asking...

    Contractor Financial(No Fee) vs Contractor Mortgage Made Easy (Fee)

    Free brokers usually recommend the products where they get commission. Whereas the fee based brokers would recommend pretty much everything that is available through brokers. If the provider offers commission to the brokers, then you can ask the brokers to reduce the fees. I say this as my...
