sunday solutions or Moanday abolutions

HI,

I just thought all of you should know and watch out for Sunday solutions.

They got my Mob Tel number from somewhere (dont know where - and would not tell me) and proceeded to phone me on a regular basis to get me to submit to their "new" contractor scheme - which is really just a partnership.

anyway after much talking and checking them out with the IR - I decided not to go with Sunday Solutions.

The sales Rep decided to put the pressure on saying things like " you realise if you dont go with us , you will be investigated by the IR " and then got very shirty with me.

In my opinion - any company who has to push its services on you and then gets nasty when you say NO - doesnt know anything about business or customers.

Hopefully for the same reasons that I'm not - I've checked it out and found it not in my best interests. Yet.

Like I say, my understanding is that Sunday Solutions are mainly a Wealth Management company. The Professional Sportsmen use them for this. I believe the contractor accountancy solution they offer is a new add-on at the request of some of their current customers (wealth management customers). It's not right for all and they are very open about that, they didn't give me a hard sell at all (like I said, they told me it wouldn't be the best option for me right now).

You can use the Wealth Management side without using their accountancy solution...

I personally think they are well worth talking to. You will get some good honest advice about all sorts of aspects of money management, contracting and agencies (the guy I spoke to has been both a contractor and an agency owner in the past!) and will not get bugged about it afterwards by their sales people if you decide not to go with them. I actually got some good contacts and advice, useful for a newbie to this like I am, but since I agreed that it wasn't for me, I haven't heard from them again (but I know that if I have any more questions that I think they can help with, they will answer them for me).

The difference being that pro footballers and rugby players and the like are not freelances, they are salaried staff, usually with secondary income streams. Different tax treatment altogether, that's the problem...

If the Sunday Solutions answer was actually the best answer for the usual contractor, we'd all be doing it. Why do you suppose we aren't?

I'm going to say something nice about Sunday Solutions and I'm not anything to do with them!

I spoke to them before setting up my Limited, because I'm not closed minded enough to reject anything "out of the ordinary" until I've completely understood it for myself.

I found the chap I spoke to to be very professional and very honest. We went through my projected earnings for year 1 along with some other stuff and he agreed that the best way for me to go for now would be Ltd Co. He talked a lot of sense about things that I'm only now beginning to realise were correct and although I don't use them now, I won't rule out using them in the future. They are only any real benefit to VERY high earners and are mainly a Wealth Management company (managing Professional Footballers and Rugby Players money!).

I wish people on here wouldn't just diss stuff that they know nothing about just because it's slightly different to the norm - just because it's different, doesn't make it wrong!

Ding Dong!

They've pulled the one with bells on!

You would think after contracting for 10 years, you'd have the paperwork sorted , down to couple of minutes a week, by now.

Only an Idiot would send a blank signed form, to anyone.

Why don't you send me a blank signed check and I'll promise to sort out all your banking for you.

yes of course you've been going through a limited company for 10 years and have now decided to use your first post to as (advertise) about a brolly - and queue the usual 1st time posters sayng they're the best brolly ever.

I know I'm late but never mind

I think most of these guys are from Sunday solution

This fellow joins in Aug and his first post is about how good Sunday solutions is. Another called 'xyz789' joined in aug says he has 10 yrs of contracting behind him and wants to join sunday solutions!

Next we will have Mr. qwerty with 71 yrs of contracting experience. Soon they will run out of interesting names.

I use them...

They are very professional on the phone and any questions or queries are answered promptly. They will send you all the taxation forms and all you need to do is sign them, and they will fill in the blanks.

Yes, very professional. eek

I get mine sent to me fully completed, and I check and then sign them. You would do well to remember that you are responsible for all submissions to HMRC, and any mistakes are your problem. I would say that signing your name to an incomplete form to certify that it's accurate is a seriously stupid idea, if it isn't actually illegal.

I can understand outsourcing all the paperwork and bookeeping, but not the responsbility for the results. Ever heard of the MSC legislation?

I have yet to hand in my personal tax review forms for the year but I am lead to believe that Sunday will supply the complete summary report for the tax year which will make this process a damn site easier.

They do charge a flat rate but they do save you all the aggravation of invoicing and worrying about IR35 and other tax legislation...You are even insured upto £50,000 against a IR35 inspection!!

Hi ALL,

This is my 1st thread. I've been working thru my ltd. company for 10 years and I now want to do things in a different route. I've been approached by Sunday Solutions (http://www.sundaysolutions.co.uk) who say they can help me but they do charge 6% of my gross income. Has anyone come across this company and can they recommend it. Is 6% a normal fee? Thanks in advance.

This has been discussed before. Try some of the links below -

Hanging around here has really made me paranoid.. I now think you are from Sunday Solutions

[TheFaQQer]

Do a search - they've been discussed a number of times.

Can't recall all the details, but the thread subject "Sunday Solutions - Nasty cold calling scum" tells me all I think I want to know.
