I’d love to hear more about it over a beer sometime.
I bet you wish you’d sent the 288 yourself and registered.
cheers
Simon

I left Synergi in February ’07 and had enough trouble getting out back then. Incidentally it was mutually agreed I would be best to leave… so I did. The reason my details are on Companies house is that Companies House are so far behind in updating the records. Incidentally I had no financial authority and consequently had no say in the financial well-being of the company, I wish you the best of luck retrieving what you are owed. Suffice to say I was ecstatic I was able to extract myself when I did… You are right in stating the 3 West Coast Directors are indeed heading up the new operation Innova Business Solutions, I wish you the best of luck in retrieving your funds.
Chris.

That’s something I want to discuss with our friends in Redmond next week…..

yep, there is definitely a bit of ‘self selection’ going on.

If they just want warm bodies then great go with a big firm – but I have never in all my working life seen a competent piece of Excel/VBA from the big accounting firms or consultancies.
I have however made a good living fixing the shite-storm they leave though, so all is not lost!
Its hard to explain the benefits of using a specialist when everyone thinks they are an Excel/VBA expert anyway!

My policy with “Middle-Men” is “If you can pay me my regular rate (or higher) then I’ll consider the project”.

But they have to be a company I know is solvent (hopefully). In the end nothing ever comes of it anyway because when they add in their cut (and the cut of sometimes more than one other intermediary) there is never enough left for the person who REALLY knows how to get the work done ;-) – sad but true. I have done work for Dell Consulting and occasionally for MCS (but they also like to get me on the cheap).

Some corporations simply won’t deal with a one-man shop – they’re best avoided anyway… because they’re a**holes anyway ;-)

I think there are policies available, but generally people don’t take them out until this happens.
Yep I can write it off, basically its just revenue that never happened so no tax or Vat hassles.
Dick – ‘power to big business’, that is so true over here you would be stunned.
I don’t really think anyone likes working through an agency (pimp), I intend to avoid it like the plague in future.

What about writing it off as an expense and claiming it as a tax brake – no dice?
