For the benefit of anyone who finds this via the search...

Its fine to do it as I suggested in the OP according to my accountant as long as the expenses are "reasonable"....

Assuming that you might be able to reference this project as something that you have done, then there is no difference than doing a prototype as part of a bid process for a piece of work.

It's a cost of sale - you are doing this bit first, on the understanding that you might be able to get more work in the future off the back of it. I would think that it might also show that you are in business on your own account too - clearly there is a risk involved in working for no money

I guess you could of course create a fixed price contract of 1p over a flexible duration.

Not that I can think of - plenty of legal firms work pro bono.

It's no different from donating cash from the company to the charity.

Chairty/Church Work

Hi All

Going to be doing some work for my local church. Basically they needs a CMS driven website. Offered to sort it out for them and wave my fee and pay for the cost of creating the site (CMS license, art work etc).

Just wondering if there are any issues with me doing it through my company and processing the expenses through my company. Planning on having a normal PCG contract and just setting my hourly rate at £0. Any issues with doing this ?

Cheers
