  • Do you definately have to set up a limited company for this one?

    Yes or you can join with someone else who has started a Ltd company already, a 'super vsc' There is someone on the previous pages who is offering people the opportunity to go and work on theirs, Why don't you pm them? Or your trainer will advise you on someone who is offering this.

    So how do you go about joining someones company?
  • Hello all, first post here so please be gentle

    I am a little unsure of what the potential earnings are with Arise, say I want to work as many hours as I can a week, lets say 40, would this be possible and what sort of money would I get?

    Also are there many clients on board at the moment or is there only one?
  • my first post here also....I have just came out of an online meeting session with arise and all seems great, but very scary...i'd very much like to go down the simpler route of being employed by an already established Vsc....oooohhh i dunno
  • :T This is a geniune job working at home, and yes you can even choose your own hours. I find it is not as restricted as Tech tele although the downside of this compared to Teletech is that you need to set up your Ltd company.

    I have been with Arise Ltd now for well over a month now, the only downside is that you need to incorporate, in otherwords, set up your own Ltd company. Which means you there is legal implications and extra paperwork that needs to meet government regulations. The main reason for needing to set up your own incorporation, is to exempt liability. Most contractors and people whom are selfemployed operate in this way. I can sincerely say I love my job and what I do. I received my first pay into bank, it was ontime, no quibbles and all pay information was set out clearly. Everything is done online. The company is professional, very friendly and although I am working at home I can say that I do not feel alone, there is always someone there to assist and help, I would say moreso than if you were in a "real" evironment!
    I hope to be with Arise Ltd for a long time to come. :T

    Money is not bad, actually, its great if you weight up the downside of not working at home, like frustions of travelling! This is great of mothers working around schedule of looking after children, and anyone with a restricted schedule

    If anyone is interested in more details, please contact [EMAIL="mariamaisha1002@gmail.com"]mariamaisha1002@gmail.com[/EMAIL]

    Hi All

    Sorry to sound a bit thick, but how exactly do you set up this company, how much does it cost and does it have to be up and running before completing the last step of the training? Also is there a minimum number of hours you need to work per week? Am working at the moment but rumours are going around that redundancies are imminent. Work an average of 50 hours a week, so not too much time left after looking after house, kids etc :p

    Thanks for your help

    Hi,
    the minimum amount of hours u can work in a week is 15....u can schedule what hours you want to work for the following week in 30 min intervals, after the information session i attended last night i have calculated that i would have to invest roughly £210 in order to set up my own company, so imagine it wouldnt differ a great deal for anyone else in other areas...although there is a big difference in installing a second phone line if u only have bt services and no virgin media as virgin charge £30 upwards for a 2nd phoneline and apparently bt charge £165.
    I would love to do this, but first off i'd need to find the money to set it up in the first place lol, and secondly, i worry about my three kids and my 1 yr old great dane being too noisy....i expressed my concern to the really lovely girl whom helped host the meeting and she said that she has 4 kids and just found a way to work it around them til all four were in school all day...ie getting up really early in the morn b4 the kids and putting in a few hours then in the evening when her husband was at home to see to the kids....
    i wish i had the money and the guts to go ahead with this....:rolleyes:

    So sorry for blubbering on:rotfl: , but, if you were to be employed by an existing VSC, what would it cost then? as you wouldnt have the issues and costs of setting it all up for yourself, and would u still be able to schedule hours to suit u from week to week? i know that the owner of the VSC that u would be employed by would take a percentage of what u earn to fund there business, so realistically, what could u expect to earn this way?

    Yes, the company has to be set up before you start training. Use a service like http://www.company-wizard.co.uk/ it takes about 4 hours and costs £30. You will need a £20 background check and will need to have it before the end of training - heard there may be a delay in sending these out from Disclosure Scotland. You have to do at least 15 hours, 5 of which have to be at the weekend. You can train and work around a full time job in the evenings if you wish. You will need a separate clean telephone line, a phone and a headset. So the initial cost involved is around £50 plus the phone line install, phone and headset. I'm assuming you already have a PC.

    I think there is a monthly cost of £20 to Arise, but only if you have worked that month I think, and then obviously the phoneline to pay for.

    So if you work for someone else you wouldn't have to spend £30 setting up a company, I was tempted to do this, but decided I didn't want someone else to be incontrol of me and assumed I'd get paid less possibly. So I'm just going for it and will worry about how I'm going to pay myself etc later :)

    So do people who set up their own VSC get paid to do so by Arise or by taking a cut from their "employees" remuneration ? If so how much-lump sum or percentage of earnings (and for how long-ie first 3 months/length of employment etc?)
