Unfortunately it wouldn't be the first time a contract evaporates in the 4 weeks you are waiting I am afraid so have to be prepared for the worst. We have had a couple of posts wanting to know what to do when the contract dried up while they were on notice.

Make sure you read up on what contracting is about, IR35 and get your contract checked.

No reason to be text speaking on mobiles in this day and age. Mine won't let me do text speak. Keeps correcting it to the proper word.

If you are outside IR35 then the financial rewards through a limited company would far outweigh those from an umbrella company but, if you are inside IR35, there would not be a significant difference in return. If you have not contracted before then you need to do a lot of reading to understand your responsibilities as a Company Director and also to determine your IR35 status. Contracts can be written or altered to give the appearance of an outside IR35 contract but the real consideration is your working practices; if the contract is not wholly representative you could find yourself in trouble further down the line. If you decide to go Ltd find an accountant that understands the contracting world - there are several who post on here and read all the guides you can lay your hands on.
