Hi all
Recently been made redundant last Thursday to be fair I made a move into management hoping for new things but the job didnt lead where I was it hoping it would go and being made redundant only after being there a short period 9 months seems to be "at the moment" for the better.
Anyway I have been reading about contracting and I like the idea of working for my own company while taking a little more money home. But today has been my first real day of applying for work. So far I haven't limited myself location wise just on the contracts I feel I can do. What I would like to know is really should I register my company first/now or wait until I land my first contract?
So far I have been reading alot and seems like alot to get your head around to start with but I guess its one of those things that once you land that first contract you can work out the stuff as you go along and find your feet.
So far contractor Uk has been really help hence why joining i'm hoping some of you may be able to guide the blind aka me. Oh I should say I have 8 years experience in support from 1st to 3rd line working in a mix of roles from help desk,operations,dc engineer etc so primarily looking at the support type of roles to start with.
Anyway if anyone could make any key suggestions I would be interested in hearing them to make sure im doing the right thing or if there is anything else I should be looking at or thinking about.
Cheers in advance
