Go ltd from the outset. An accountant can set up an off-the-shelf company for you in a few hours. But don't set up until you've got a contract. IR35 is to do with contract and actual working practices. Some view it as a largely a voluntary tax - with a bit of work, you can avoid it quite easily.

In fact, the officials of a Welfare State, perceiving that their jobs require a supply of "clients" needing State aid, eventually become adept at making sure that there are always people in need. To do this, they either adopt policies that promote poverty and dependence, or stretch existing classifications to bring more "clients" into the Welfare system.
