Just a quick note to say hello. Returning from permie role (the dark side?) back to a contract starting next week (eek!). Trying to get all the admin done quickly - any advice gratefully received, especially those things I need and those that I don't. Ltd company set up, accountant sorted, now looking at insurances....

Hi newaxe,
Your question is a bit too broad to answer. I advise that you look through the stickies on each of the forums, that will give you some ideas regarding what you need to look at.
Once you have the basics ask again for anything specific and we will try to help.

Thanks Cojak - apologies if this was a bit too generic. Not sure I have anything specific to ask just yet, and I am trawling through the stickies as I get to each thing I need to do. I will be back to ask for specifics when I get there!

There's a first timers link on the right. Whilst you're not a brand new first timer, there's been changes over the past 7 years so it's worth starting anew with your investigations.Comment
