Ian I've got Safecontractor stuff which may help, hunt it out tomorrow.

[Blast Away]

Join with Safe Contractor first then when applying for CHAS you fill out a small form as SSIP will already hold all details.

Does it need to CHAS?

We are safecontractor registered & it's been fine with any company we have priced up work for (house builders)

Local County Council are insisting on all contractors being CHAS registered

We used to be with CHAS, and a few others. Opted out last time around as found zero benefits.   Also dropped out of Constructionline for same reason.

Only with SMAS now which is all we need with existing Clients.

If your with any othe SSIP scheme CHAS isn't really necessary.
