Immediate Notice + IR35?

A related article has just been published on IT Contractor site (Getting Your Initial IT Contract Changed). For some reason it's not allowing me to insert the full url of the article, it's getting replaced with thisits*cks.com, or something like that...

IR35 is only a minor issue. The client gets to pull out of the deal and you don't because the client is paying for that option. In other words, you are taking some project risk off the client in exchange for money.

If you want a contract where you can give notice then that's fine (as long as the client's in agreement), but you won't be able to charge as much. And yes as Malvolio says, you're more likely to be working inside IR35. It all boils down to whether you want the bigger risks and the bigger returns, or a lower income on a peace-of-mind contract.
