Very few companies/agents will work with a self-employed contractor for various reasons.

They will generally accept Ltd/Umbrella contractors as it's easier for them to shift liabilities such as NI over to us...

Limited co every time.

That way, the ltd co's exposure to insolvency is 'limited.' As a self employed person, any insolvency would fall totatlly on that person.

Ltd company or Self-employed

Which is the most tax efficient way (uk resident) IT contractors can operate in the uk? Through a Limited company or as a registered self employed individual?
Is it possible for a limited company who may be a preferred supplier to subcontract work to a self employeed individual?
