    They were both through a brolly which was obviously applying VAT. I wasn't under FRS as, with 3 contractors going through the books (including me), the turnover over double the FRS threshold...

    Then, the contractor signed up with a brolly and I provided a contract to them. PCG do a standard set of contracts you can refer to if you're a member. This would also be the case if the contractor had his own limited.

    I took 5% of the hourly rate and, when you took into account on-call and overtime (which this particular role offered), I think my profit from 2 guys over 2 years was something like £20K.

    Every little helps...

    thx. that's exactly what i was going to do. did you do this verbally? I was looking around for a contract template so that I could get it all in writing. Something formal and a bit tight / iron clad.

    Thx

    been looking around the web for a contract template and haven't found anything ideal, and was wondering if someone has done this before.

    I'm recruiting my mate to join me at my current gig. Rather than take a cut from my mate, what I'd like to do is:
    - contact my agent / agency and let them get their free from client
    - take a cut(half) from the agency

    Anyone done this before? And if so, do you have any written contract / template which you can share?

    I'm on good terms w/ my agent / agency, but my trust in them is inline w/ how much you should trust an agency

    Thanks
    Implemented it as a referal program.
    My business gives a % to the finder upon receipt of cleared funds.
    Same paperwork would be applied, but the Finder and Business names would be swapped.

    You should consider this option.
