One of my clients has just given me notice, which is fair enough - but actually the first time for me!

Brief history..I used to do the payroll for a client. I decided to dismiss him as a client 2 years ago because of late payment of fees.

I have a client who signs contracts in the name of the company rather than himself as a director on behalf of the company - is this correct? e.g. The client signs contracts as 'ABC Limited' rather than 'A Director' on behalf of ABC Limited
