    Do you think this will make a difference to how the contract will be structured?

    They have asked for my company details but I have not formed it yet, I was going to do that tonight and reply tomorrow or should I hold off until I see the contract and get it reviewed?

    We also agreed £400 on the phone but I don't have this in writing and I will be interested to see if it states £400 a day or a lower rate.

    Thanks.

    Their recent price rises have pissed a lot of people off, they're good, but not competitive. I'm with NW, again, not cheap but also not over-priced.

    Also, I'm still permanently employed until mid March but would be looking at setting up my company potentially next week after the contract has been reviewed by the accountant. Would this be the best way to go about this?

    Just tell the agency/consultancy that you are getting your legal advisor to review the contract.

    Ignore them when they say their contract is compliant and get it reviewed anyway.

    Thanks for the reply.

    My knowledge is that I want to be outside of the IR35 and have some type of clause within the contract that states the right for substitution or that I am not under the direct control of the client. Plus many others.

    Usually how flexible are agents/companies with rewording the contracts to ensure I am outside of the IR35?

    I will most likely be using SJD Accountancy to perform the review and appoint them as the accountant, if you have had previous dealings with them and would recommend/not recommend then please let me know.

    They'll probably pretend to the client that you are an employee. Read the contract carefully as I suspect that it won't be very IR35 friendly.

    What role is the contract for?
