Are there any downsides in this scenario?
+1 - Remember there is no thing such as a free lunch. They are doing this for a reason... if you client isn't forcing it then I wouldn't bother. Going through them as a Ltd company does sound the same but they could easily increase their margin and force you out. Not worth it... thats what I think.- MrHelpful
