Nathan is too modest to say but the SJD website has an excellent free (you do have to sign up) beginner's guide.

.. Yes we do...! The 'sign up' is free too, and we will even post the guide out to you too if preferred (also at no charge).

I got that guide today. Bit of a shame almost 1/3 of it is all about SJD and what they can do for you , testimonials etc. The rest is I suppose useful to a degree, although nothing I haven't seen already on this site. The only section of real interest to me was that which deals with the dividends and how it all works and ties together.

Hey, it's free though, so not complaining .

I'm just about to go into my first contract, start Monday, I had absolutely no idea where to start. There is so much info out there, that putting it into a brief 10 step guide isn't the case. Totally depends on you and how you want to run (Ltd) or be run (Umbrella).

The way I decided was tapping up all the contractors I know of in the office and seeing what they do and how they work, and borrowing ideas from them, networking really does help here. Having experienced guys explain the pitfalls of IR35 and how to work in a work place being a contractor have been invaluable.

After I decided, I phoned up SJD and they answered pretty much every question that I had that hadn't been answered.

My accountant, Nixon Williams has a very good guide and you can access all their guides without having to register on the website.

The definitive and commercially neutral guide to all things freelance (not just IT contracting or small company accounting) is the PCG one. Go to www.pcg.org.uk and look for the Guide to Freelancing. But really you need to read and understand everything you can get your hands on for a proper perspective. You will be amazed at how much you don't know

Haha. No worries.

Pages 8 - 15 are about SJD and who we are, 16 - 57 is all to do with VAT, IR35, expenses, contracting etc.
