Could form a co-op that would offer IT services as an alternative to the incumbents, and we'd probably be cheaper than HP or the like with all their offshoring etc, whilst keepsing the jobs and skills onshore.

would that be "The Benched Contractors Charity"?Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostActually I'd set the agency up as a registered charity.
If it does make any profit from the subscription it is donated to charity once all costs have been covered.
I think HR bods would like that idea.
Get a contractor at no margin and help the needy.

Already been doneOriginally posted by DimPrawn View PostThat's right, the agency takes no cut from the client, it works for free.
We as contractors fund the agency (non profit making) with a monthly fee.
Hopefully it will undercut all other agencies and put them all out of business in a matter of months.

Money well spent.
