Business Expansion - Advice

Tesla · 19 Jul 2006 at 17:01

I am wanting to expand my AV business into wall mounting.

The problem I am facing is that ideally this has to be a 2-man job.

I have had a decent sounding contract land into my lap, rather unexpectedly so I would be a fool to turn it down.

However, I would like some advice on moving from a one-man-band AV installer to somebody with either a Subbie or Employee.

Initially I would like a Subbie as apposed to employee.

All ideas and advice much appreciated.

Can't you get a friend to help you and just give them cash in hand?

I'm not asking for sub's. I am asking for advice.

Cash in hand seems a bit dodgy as they would techically be uninsured.

Loads of people do cash in hand jobs, anything happens just deny they work for you

My advice is to ask in a business forum.

Employing people is an absolute minefield. The best way to investigate this would be to call the IR and ask for a 'new employer pack' and any other advisory material they might have.

Subcontracting is easy. Just draw up a simple contract, have a solicitor check it over at an exorbitant rate, pay them when they're due.

Good luck
