Hiya again, Thank you for some of your thoughts and replies, since looking i've found a web site that explains the cheque emploi (i think) http://www.special.sudouest.com/article.php3?id_article=3577 It seems that it is limited to domestic arrangements from what i can gather, would another way to do it be for me to get my own siret number and register as a seperate business but work along side my friend ................or is that just a stupid way to do it, or even possible? Still a bit confused but a little better informed, Thanks again for any further suggestions.
