Have you ever used contract finding companies successfully?

[Sparky's Auntie]

Work is ticking along ok, most days are filled by domestic work (obviously appreciate it), but we always seem to miss out on the bigger contracts. I was wondering if anyone used any tender finders successfully, and of so who are they?

I was quoted £1600 per month by a company who would find contracts to quote for!

No- no one has this in the bag yet - DO NOT pay for leads unless they are in the 'bag'

I'd never dream of paying a company to find work for me unless it was on a commission basis potentially???

I completely agree.

After the first year you get a refund if no work is found, such a vast amount of money! Fortunately, we've been very busy since I posted

You posted on November the 28th last month... Do you mean you have made so much from the company after paying £1600? or that you haven't needed to use them as you have been so busy?

We haven't needed them, as have suddenly got busy

Phew!, I though the world had gone mad (madder, that is), those companies as a rule are pure scam, this would be an absolute first-: one that paid within the first month. Don't give in to desperation , at worst, work for someone else and keep your hard earned in your pocket. Cheers for clarifying, have a great Xmas and new year!

Thank you! Fortunately, I'm just the worried pen pusher trying to find them work. Their good name goes before them though thank goodness. Have the best Christmas yourself, and a prosperous new year

if you have adhered rigidly to the impossible terms and conditions you may qualify for a refund.
however it is likely the company will have disappeared by the time you ask them for any money.
I have not heard of anyone getting any money back from a company like this ever!

I suspect the same. You're so right
