Actually their Experian credit check says they're fine, because it ignores their ownership and poor cash position. And their ownership looks better than I initially thought because 10 days before their parent company (which owned the sole allocated share) went into liquidation, 999 shares were allocated to an undisclosed owner. Hmmm.

Another thing I use is 'CREDITFOCUS Monthly Credit Monitoring Alert'. It came free with the Barclays Business account so I'm well aware of the state of the Consultancy I'm working through right now. Just wish I'd started using it before that Nick Phipps of RMI Recruitment took a weeks money off me.

They're a consultancy, not an agency, so I think PCG Plus won't 'work'. I'm not sure I want to offer 30 days after monthly invoice = 60 days. I doubt they'll go for payment up front, but anything else seems like an unacceptable risk.
BTW, I have other full time contract work, but was going to run two clients part time /Last edited by eek; 9 June 2014, 09:04.
