    Fed up of the Uk

    I have a uk Ltd company, and am fed up with working in the Uk,
    I am going to continue freelancing and consulting abroad (not sure where yet) i have a company that can cover my accountancy needs for europe depending on where i end up, i was just wondering if anyone knew of any companies that provide Insurances (ie PI, PL etc) while im working abroad.

    I would have thought that any Public Liability Ins would have to be based in your host country. Happy to be wrong though.

      Be very careful with a management co. that can cover your needs for Europe. Most of the UK companies that offer his service are COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT AND CAN GET YOU IN VERY SERIOUS TROUBLE WITH THE TAX AUTHORITIES: YOU MAY END UP BEING ARRESTED AS SOME CONTRACTORS WERE IN GERMANY AND SPENDING TIME IN JAIL.
      I'm alright Jack

            dont worry not using a management company as such, learnt my lesson on that one in the uk!!!!

            Traditionally my account sorted my insurances out for me but I want to make sure I am getting a good deal etc this time.

              Nope, I'm not in IT so it doesn't matter a jot to me.

              I'm just fed up of people carping on about how tulipe it is to live in Britain.

              If people want to bugger off to climates new, fine

                  I get the feeling that you will be unhappy wherever you land up.


                  Most people do it the other way round, find an ideal location, see if there is work, check the feasibility, do the reasearch, work towards the goal.
