I am starting my own business, it is a bit complicated so bear with me!
I am self employed. I am employed on a daily basis by companies who have been employed to provide a service. For example Marks and Spencer have asked xxx Ltd to provide a service. Xxx Ltd get me to actually provide the service and pay me a daily rate.
I guess my client is xxx Ltd, not Marks and Spencer.
My question is, if I set myself up as a similar business to xxx, could I say a previous client was.Marks and Spencer? Or any of the 100's of huge companies I have worked for in the last 15 years?
The idea of setting up my own business is to have a bit more control over what I do, also to get more of the fee. Currently xxx Ltd keep 60% of what they charge!
I know I absolutely can't say I have worked for xxx Ltd in the past. They would threaten legal action.
Thanks for any help.
