B) Will be hard if you stick to the rules.
C) Yes
D) Yes
E) No thanks. I'm working with 2 already. One of which I contract the consultancy (4 people on the project).
The other I contract direct to one of the consultants who in turns contracts us both to the end client. This should no way ever eb determined as inside, but if it did they'd lose their migration team instantly as well have other work on.
So yes the model works. It's great if you can do it. The challenges are client managenemt and commercials (a lot will want fixed price and you need to understand what that entails).
Also finding the work. If you're serious then start looking now. Have you any idea where to start looking? If not then think again as this isn't for you.
For me I'd be very reluctant to head up soemthing like this. Seems like an awful lot of hassle for not that much reward. I'll happily work for people who are doing it though.
