US Company Accounts...

Yeah CV has gone off and prices quotes are in GBP so seems like a goer but always nice to check; forewarned and all that.

Cheers.

As above or Dun and Bradstreet (among others).

No reason why it should be too good to be true, providing you know what to expect. The contract will likely be subject to US governing law and jurisdiction (for a particular US State) and will require insurance coverage for this (your regular PI/PL/EL won't apply, and very few insurers offer coverage for a NA jurisdiction). You'll find a few things that are lost in translation unless you're dealing with someone that has experience of B2B contracts with non-US companies, such as clauses on US-specific insurances (Workers Comp, auto etc., and the concept of an "additional insured" also doesn't translate well over here). Do not under any circumstances complete any IRS forms, such as a W-9, because they simply do not apply. Try to get rates (or, even better, a fixed price) agreed in GBP if you can. Also, consider a full legal review alongside an IR35 review. Unless you're providing the contract template, which I doubt, US contracts are extremely verbose in my experience. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have specific questions.

You can get a credit report from Experian US here for about $40.

Don't buy from a UK provider as you'll pay through the nose for exactly the same info

Potential boom (or mini boom) on the cards, decent rate and 100% WFH, maybe too good to be true?

So client co is US based, so I usually use DueDil to check over this side but is there a US equivalent?

Also anyone had any dealings with Jack Farrell & Associates?
