:laugh Yes, well aware of that. But maybe I might begin to know the first thing about something after 3 months.- LJM

All interesting stuff - thanks. I'm just going to go for it tomorrow, but make sure I'm better armed for the renewal or next contract. Hate that newbie feeling....:smile- LJM

Ah, yes, here it all is - lots of IR35-safe clauses (good) and a rather horrid 12 month restriction on working direct for the client (bad), etc. Would I be cutting off my nose to spite my face to say that although I'll start work, I want to get this reviewed before signing it (as the agency...- LJM

I genuinely had not considered the 'accepting you are inside IR35' option :eek I think my brain is addled by having to change my whole way of working and get on top of all this stuff in the space of four days. As I was typing this reply, the Reed guy phoned to say that 'Ta-da!' actually...- LJM

On the contract Thanks LisaContractorUmbrella. I've spoken to the PCG helpline who agreed it sounded like just a front sheet which should have proper T&Cs attached - I've now queried Reed, but apparently this is the whole contract. The Reed guy talked a lot about how they'll pay me before they...- LJM

Thanks everyone - that sounds reassuring. I haven't had it checked for IR35 as it didn't even look like a contract to me to be honest with no legal wording whatsoever - I thought I needed to bolster it with my own terms otherwise any solicitor would laugh me out of here. I guess I'll submit it...- LJM

Hi, sorry if this is a naive newbie question but I have searched and read all over the place and just can't get a handle on it. I've worked as a sole trader until now (business analyst), working for old contacts and keeping things pretty informal as far as contracts go. Took on my first...- LJM
