    as a perm im currently on 2400 month so I believe this is not gonna have any advantage...
    They'll be getting the "New Contractor Bonus Cut" out of your day rate.
    You should be on a lot more but because you're green and have had your head turned by the idea of contracting, the agent is probably taking a 45% cut.

    Not only that but the second contract will be a lot harder to get if you've only got three years under your belt.

    Without knowing all the details I would have thought 220/pd in London is a very low rate, even taking the Arthur Bliss, knowing you have never contracted before.

    becoming a contractor

    Hi!!

    My name is Leti.
    I would like to ask you a question regarding becoming a contractor in the Uk.

    I have been working in London for aprox 3 years always in perm bases.

    I Have received an offer for an initial 6 months contract (with the possibility to become perm after 6 months).

    They have offered me 220/day. But I have never worked as a contractor and I do have a lot of questions...

    I was wondering if i should go for umbrella or set up my own company and secondly if I get an insurance how much this will cost me given that I havent worked as a contractor before...

    What would it be the net I will get per month(aprox) after deducting all the cost?


    thank you!
    Any help will be much appreciated

Working...
