Thanks all. Been a steep learning curve, but learned loads on here.

First week coincided with end of invoice period, so I've raised my first invoice too!

3 months in, and all going well. 50 minute commute is fine, enjoying listening to a bit more TalkSport or music.

My contract was initially 5 months to end at Xmas, but just got an extension to end of July 2017, so really pleased with that.

I chose Danbro as my accountant and that has gone smoothly. They give me FreeAgent as part of their service, and I've found it very useful, not just to keep track, but also improve my knowledge of my accounts. First VAT payment due in November!

Newbie to contracting

Hi all ,
I 'm currently in the process of leaving my employed job. I've had good meetings with a new customer. They have asked how much i charge for mileage to and from service calls and installs (pence per mile ) . I will be getting a transit sized van. Has anyone got any ideas of the going rate for this?
Thanks in advance
Chris

Why didn't you research this before?

I'd do it for free. Good customer service and all that.
