All of that sounds pretty sensible advice. Time to have a word with the accountant about it I think. Last thing I want is any grief with HMRC so thanks all for flagging it up.
I do see your point stek but I think we should be able to justify her salary as she will definitely be doing some work even with the accountant dealing with tax affairs etc. I'm sure this is always a tricky subject (and I freely admit I'm completely ignorant of many of the arguments) so it's...
I've just called the client and I might be able to get the public liability level dropped to £5million which means Qdos will do all I need for £393 which sounds a bit more like it! Should hear more this afternoon.
Thanks a lot for the replies so far really appreciated.
Lol, no not an oil rigger just an IT developer! I think the £10million public liability seems to be problematic. I've had brokers saying it doesn't exist!
Thanks guys, I'll take a look at the suggestions. Have had a quick look at Caunce and they come up with £600ish but with £5million of Public Liability which is nearer the mark so will call them to see if they can do £10million.
Hi,
I'm just about to start my first contract and need to get some insurance so could do with some advice because it seems to be a bit of a mine field.
Ltd company is set up, I'm the sole Director and my wife is down as secretary so an employee.
My contract states I need:
£2million...
Thanks Sue Ellen,
Apparently this agency is the sole agency for the company anyway.
just been speaking to the guy from the agency and my cv is going forward. Apparently there are 2 posts and 4 cv's have been sent.
here's hoping.....
Hi,
I've just had an email from an agency asking me about a contract they have.
Is it common for them to mention the name of the company you would be working at and is it a good sign that they really want you?
Thanks,
thanks for the info.
At the moment I obviously don't have a uk accountant as I've not got a UK business yet but will be in contact with the one my brother uses when the time comes to set up.
