Well there's no offer on the table yet - but it's in the pipeline so I don't have a lot of information unfortunately.
I guess what I'm wondering is as a part-owner would I still be able to contract for the company or would I legally need to be on payroll?

I'm wondering if this would affect my IR35 status - would I need to become an employee for this?

Many thanks,
