Expenses to be authorised by the appropriate project manager, once authorised the claim is to be submitted to the agent which is to be paid as soon as practical.

Originally posted by eek View PostI'm following that exact same policy at the moment and use a personal credit card for any expenses. My company than pays me the expenses to pay the credit card bill off and invoices the customer...
If your company nor yourself hasn't got any money to pay the credit card bill just swallow the cost of a month or 2 of interest until your expenses are paid...

Or might just be my last 7 contracts and I've been unlucky
Yes I do use the same travel booking system as employees but that’s for tracking purposes - not so important in Europe rather useful if elsewhere everything else is a different far more annoying process (in triplicate) while permies have a new one point entry toolLast edited by eek; 13 October 2017, 21:46.

thank you for the replies, I do appreciate it.
wrt visas etc. I am UK born and bred, the contract may require from time to time travel within the EU, USA and Japan.
I'll be setting up a cashplus account with a pre load credit card so I could use this or I could use a personal credit card. which would be the preferred method?
also interesting point bought up by northernladuk, I should submit the expense claim to my agent and not the end client correct? I'll be using free agent so I could raise an invoice upon my return and submit to them.

Originally posted by Himitsu View Postsay for example I am required to work overseas for 2 weeks or more a hotel could reasonably cost £100 per night it could be a substantial bill by the end of my stay. how would you normally manage this. as a new ltd. company I wont have any capital for a few months to cover such costs.
Then (as others have said), I'd get a decent credit card and put the expenses on there.
Finally I'd be looking for short payment terms, especially at the start so that you can build those savings up as quickly as possible.
Originally posted by Himitsu View Postreally my question is is this a normal arrangement? and how would people normally manage this level of expense? would it be reasonable for me to agree to it but also agree that I wouldnt be required to travel for x months to allow me to build some capital?

Don't forget hotels.com for accumulating free nights to spend yourself, but make sure you get a tax receipt from the hotel as they won't give you one.
