All this messing about from the “umbrella” company and pressure to give up my rights under the “Conduct regulations” started me thinking. I had shied away from the idea of starting my own company because I thought it would be too much hassle. However, since I don’t want to pay someone else to produce my invoices and I’m quite capable of a bit of book keeping the "starting my own company" option suddenly seemed a lot easier. In any case, a regular, local job with the (part-time) hours I want isn’t going to turn up, so bidding for work to fit how and when I want to work seems to be a better option.
On the verge of deciding whether or not to start my own company, I attended a day organised by Business Link. This was free, with advice on tax, accounts, websites and marketing. It also gave me the opportunity to “network”. It demonstrated that apparently there is such a thing as a free lunch - quite a good one at that.
However, no one, but no one, not even the representatives from Her Majesties Revenue and Customs, had heard of the Conduct regulations of 2003.
