Unguided1 I sent you and Mick Williams an e-mail and had further correspondence with Mick which you have been cc: in on. Please advise if you have not received as I would really value your opinion on the points I have raised to Mick on some of what I would suggest are fundamental issues with the campaign and how we can work together to simplify the QMS element without compromising the quality.

bloody hell does it stop,

just spoke to Real and if I take depsoits need a 3rd party client bank account so if I go bust they can get their money back, anyone else do this? if they charge me for a bank account think ill drop the deposit idea

Eaton - As i understand it you can use the saving or bmm account which sits along side your normal business account saving you from having to open a new account. i have included a link which talks about how you can use the cover its a bit complicated but basically if you win a job and take a deposit or advanced payment you inform the insurance company and they will apply cover against that payment in the event of you closing your business during the project.

i hope this helps and congratulations on passing your assessment, can i ask which member of our training team worked with you?

Hi Eaton,As I understand it you can use the reserve account for compliance with Real but it's worth discussing it with the insurance side as they ultimately call the shots with regard to the cover for advanced payments / deposits. I am back in the office on Wedneday if you would like me to have a look into this for you? Regards Simon.

Easymcs, any news regards bank accounts, my real certificate turned up earlier, just sent a copy to napit so should be ready to go

 

[EasyMCSLtd]

Hi Eaton,

I have spoken to Real and they are now looking for a specified account that all banks have to offer which is a deposit or client bank account, the reason for this is that it is treated seperately from your normal account and would not be included in the company assests if it was to go into liquidiation, I have spoken to barclays today and they advised that they do not charge for this service but this may be down to the individual bank. Barclays advised that it is still under your business name but they set it up so that it does not fall as part of you standard business acoount to enable this to sit between you and the customer.

This process has been utilised with solicitors when large amounts of money are being trasfered from one user to anouther, this was the way i described it to barclays and they new what i wanted after this.

Please let me know if you need any further assitance on this.

 

[eaton]

thanks, santander told me they are not really interested so went to hsbc and they do one free but will have to move all my business with them, bloody pain in the arse, better get some work out of this lol

As nobody has posted about renewables for at least a week I can only assume that since the RHI announcement you are all snowed under with work and haven't even had a chance to post on this thread:smug:
I'm still waiting for the phone to start ringing but i'm sure it will, wont it???

 

[EasyMCSLtd]

Markfxy - If you send me your MCS number i will see if we have had any enquiries come in from consumers looking for installations in your area.

 

[eaton]

very busy but not renewables, had one quote for a solar install, should be on the register either this monday or next so will see then if this mcs lark actually starts paying off

 

[eaton]

right confirmed today, im MCS approved. Went online all logged in and looking good, only issue is cant fird the Barilla flat plates on the list, made by wagner but they are linked as vaillant!!!

 

[CES]

Well done Mate, Hope you do well out of it.

 

[dontknowitall]

Eaton - hope you don't mind me asking.

How long has it taken you to get to this stage and what's the approximate cost?

I ask because on other threads there seem to be so many variables and it would be good to hear from the horse's mouth, if you see what I mean.

Best of luck with the qualification and I hope you get a couple of jobs quickly before it's all forgotten!!

 

[eaton]

taken a year all in but sure you could do it quicker, its a lot of paperwork and a lot of nights by the pc total cost est inc training, books, cert etc £3,00 ish plus vat, plus as i said a lot of time so factor that in and your pushing roughly inc training and paperwork min 60 hours

 

[dontknowitall]

That's really helpful. Many thanks!!

Good luck, again!
