    Am I worrying too much?

    But wouldn't I have to sort of be there to train them up on what we've been working on? I thought a substitute was a complete substitution and I wasn't present. This is why it gets a bit complicated, because there are maybe small chunks of work that can be done with minimal "training" - but in...

    Am I worrying too much?

    It was written to be an agreement between business to business, but QDOS noted there was one point where they mentioned me by name. I would like to think I am somewhat aware of how to run a company to some degree - make sure I hold insurance, have my own website / business email address, try...

    Am I worrying too much?

    I do still have outgoings, just around 6-900 quid less than most people who pay a mortgage. My dad is retired, and my wife will be on maternity, so I don't think I need to provide baby cover the entire day - also if I did find I needed to "concentrate" and couldn't be in the same house, I have...

    Am I worrying too much?

    But I could spend time with my newborn child and keep working my existing gig? As a software developer I have bursts of intense concentration and then a few fairly lengthy breaks - and I'm happy to work round the clock in that fashion. This is the main reason I want to continue with my current...

    Am I worrying too much?

    @WordIsBond I got back my QDOS review - I answered a question incorrectly (goes to show how much they read into my comments which would have contradicted the answer I accidentally gave) and it appears this was the only reason they would mark me INSIDE - is the fact that I said I don't have...

    Am I worrying too much?

    Yeah - this is why IR35 really irks me - the lines become blurry fast. I work *completely* different to how the regular employees do, and the client hire me because I provide a level of expertise they do not have in-house. But I understand that by switching me onto a new project and wanting to...

    Am I worrying too much?

    I would like to think I understand IR35 fairly well - I've been aware of it and a fair amount of its in's and out's since before I made the plunge into self-employment. I do genuinely want to build my business and build a brand - ranging from whitelabel solutions, selling educational content...

    Am I worrying too much?

    I do have a strong warchest - I would obviously like to keep earning and not tap into it but I live with my Dad and we don't have a mortgage to pay. But whilst one of the huge factors in "should I stay or should I go" is the 2k a month that doesn't get put towards little Timmy, equally the...

    Am I worrying too much?

    I have been contracting for nearly three years now, with a single client. (For reference, they are considered a *small* company). Sorry this might be a bit lengthy but I'm really confused with what to do on a time-sensitive situation! --- I was originally brought on to build a small BI tool...
