I've gained plenty of supplemental work through networking in person, but get very few (ie less than 5) visitors per day to my website...

Maybe an option is to have the consultancy web-site but use an yahoo mail with pimps.
It's none of the agency's business how I promote MyCo. I have multiple income streams and I'd tell them to bugger off if they so much as hinted at it.

Now we all agree that the web-site should present us as a "small consultancy".

PS: Why do we call them pimps ? Isn't that make us the "bitches" ?

Option 2 - I have company information, support forum, customers list.
I've also got a jobs page, and people have applied for jobs with my company. Shame none were particularly good, but if the right person applied for a job, then I'm sure I could get some work for them to do.

Be careful with the url you choose
You might just end up with hassle like I did. Still, it helps to prove I'm in business 'on my own account'. And I've managed to fend them off so far...

Another for Option 2. You may be a 1 man band but it shows you are thinking as director of a company with ambitions to grow, rather than as a temp employee. This cannot be bad for IR35.
The fact that 99% of us can't/won't in reality employ anyone else is often due to how the whole game works with parasitic agencies, rather than the fault of contractors.Last edited by GreenerGrass; 3 March 2007, 19:49.
