Sub Contracting

Had a couple of company's contact me regarding sub contracting. We're a small landscaping business and I'm hoping this could help us expand as we've just bought another van. The works going to be anywhere in the U.K. And will involve staying away on some jobs. Has anyone had any experience in pricing work like this and wouldn't mind me picking their brains?

I was sub contractor on and off for about 9 years in my former career mate. A lot of it on the CSCS scheme, where I was a paid labour only and the company I was working for took the tax out for me and provided a certificate.

 

Other companies I had to sort all that myself.

 

What is it your after mate?

Just make sure you price in for everything. Your public liability insurance may need to change etc. Things like how mileage and wear and tear will affect your vehicles and how much sooner they will need replacing.

 

Missus recently had an interview at a place where there was no budgeting for replacement of plant etc.

when I would price a job (about 12 years ago since I worked away )

 

I would just stick 20% on top of the price 30% in that there London Village
