    Setting up the 10% agency

    Ok here is the deal.

    We set up the CUK agency, we all work through that agency.

    The agency charges 10% for running costs on a flat rate for all contracts from the client.

    Any money left over at the end of the year is put up for a CUK ball in a major city (rotating each year).

    I am semi-serious, why not, with enough contractors we would be a major player in the market.

    What do you think
    Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

    Nice idea, but getting on to clients' PSL will be difficult

                I hope your planning to employ some actual agents to do the selling, otherwise it'll probably fall on it's arse.

                  This is an IT contractors site. The obvious solution would be to write an overly complicated application to replace the agents.
