I've been offered an interview for what on the face of it would appear to be a nice challenging role in the smoke. Day rate is decent but not huge. The agent appears knowledgeable and is personable.
Looking at the agency itself, it would appear to be a 1 man band plus employee located in an office share. No website and not a member of REC. I've looked over the abbreviated accounts for the 6 years the company has existed and must assume that salary is taken as no dividends shown, tax liability is small or nil. Apart from one year cash in bank is not much more than my monthly outgoings. There is an outstanding debenture to a factoring company starting 2011.
Now I'm not stupid, this all means hand to mouth existence, and a real risk that the company goes pop. I'm not yet aware of whether this might be monthly or weekly invoicing so worse case scenario I could be balls deep for 2 months invoices plus train expenses and accommodation.
I have alternative irons in fire which will mean WFH or expensed outings, however this role would be a significant enhancer. I could also be thinking that I have the interview as no one else would be stupid to work through them.
Thoughts?
