@Ben - Out of curiosity, what are the limits of doing your company trick? Can you stay more than 3 months for a long job?

Re: Triggerfish?
It's no trick you. Firstly you have to tell the company concerned you will be billing through a company so you do not go no there books. When you do your return it is better if the are multi sources of income coming from different places. The best thing to do is talk to a good accountant he or she may cost more but you will be better off for it.

Re: Triggerfish?
Ben - are you in London by any chance? Would not mind chatting if you are, I am coming over there for May still looking for something and doing a gig while I am there. BTW instead of me posting about myself on this thread to bore everyone, anyone who might be interested, I have a linkedin profile - http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=164301689trk=hb_tab_pro_top. Only thing I did not yet put on there is that I was also involved in interviewing some of the hires at Triggerfish so can act at that level too. Cheers S.

Re: Triggerfish?
Dave - yes Triggerfish is still going, sorry I did not mean to make it appear not, it is just that after Khumba they did not have budget to keep us on. Right now it is ticking over with the partners there, they are trying to get things going for a not so diffucult future. Raising funds to do each movie a movie at a time, is a nightmare and I think they are planning to avoid that method in the future! However, it is not known when things might get sorted out, and as someone with family responsibilities I am still very much looking for opportunities. Once again sorry for the confusion, Triggerfish did not close down, but had to scale down after Khumba. S. On 2013/04/25 4:16 PM, David Gallagher wrote: Triggerfish is still going?

Re: Triggerfish?
I understood that very clearly Sandy. I don't think you need to apologize, but it's of course always kind to do so. Can you tell those on the list who don't know you as well what your expertise are? That way we will know better what work to toss in your direction.

Re: Triggerfish?
Yes, no apology necessary and I really hope they (and you) succeed. Khumba looked like a great step up -- wonderful work that should be commended and successful.

Re: Triggerfish?
Thanks Leonard, Thanks - I just don't want there to be a misunderstanding on the TF situation. If no-one minds I will do a quick rundown of what I am later on, please do let me know if you do mind as I know this is not meant to be a list to do such things? Cheers S.

If you works as a company director, selling your services as a company the visa problem goes away (effectively a freelancer). Meaning you pay your tax as a reg company in the place were your company is Reg, a little more paper work, but you can travel, and the employer pays a company not a person.
