Have my staff got any training on these things? Who gave training?
Clients Info:

A: I don’t charge any hourly rate, we get contract and the price is negotiable, we charge according to the amount of work on a monthly basis.
I also gave an example: If I have to process payroll for 80 employees for accompany then I roughly charge £900/Month
Q: How much I charge for Pension?
A: It depends on the size of the company and what work they require.
Roughly £500 for processing pensions every month and £3000 one off setting up fee.
Q: How much I charge for HR services
A: It depends if a company need a [permanent staff or temp, for a full time staff I charge 20% of the annual salary.
These are all I remember.
I am actually running my business properly and its not for visa purpose only so I know almost every thing.
Few things which they ask I think not easy to remember for every one like accountant address, so I wrote all these type of things on a piece of paper and I took it with me and in the interview room, I placed on the table making sure its not visible to the camera as u can see your self as well on skype call so I know what he can see on my side.
If I wanted to record this interview I could have easily done that as well.
My suggestion to others, as we know the interviewer is not a home office person so why to answer the questions in detail, stick to the point as he was writing every thing.
My interview took only 35 min becz I was answering to the point.
E.G,
Q: where you advertise jobs
A: Reed, total jobs.
Job done !
At the end he asked me if I have any question and I said u wont be bae to answer my question as I want to ask how long it take more to get reply back and he then said Ill pass these to the case worker straight away and I think they will process it very soon.
