And if he owes you money get it back of him quick.

The clue is in the word "scheme".

"Scam" or "Scamola" would be better.

Go for it. And in about 10 years time, buy a large dog partial to brown envelopes.

Sounds good. What can possibly go wrong. Give it a bash.

Just arrange for me to receive your invoices then I will take care of the rest.

Careful - you want to use words like "our scheme has been reviewed by a QC" without using the word guarantee...

How does it work who knows. But badly eventually as likely as not.

It's most likely one of those "loan" schemes where the "company" that pays you's office is located in the middle of a field somewhere in the Isle of Man. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/p...e-loan-schemes

Hope this helps!

What scheme is this?

A contractor I met says he's on a "scheme" where he gets 80+% of the billable amount.

He's also NOT a director of a limited company.

I don't know much about these dodgy schemes but anyone know how this could work?

Its Friday, work is quiet and I'm in a curious mood!
