Grab a copy of the PCG's standard template contract and get this submitted to the client ASAP. Stumping up with your own terms of business will head off them producing their own dodgy ones full of stupid clauses that you have to argue the point over.

Originally posted by icemancomeths View PostHi guys,
I have been offered a 3 month contract with a company that I did a 3 month contract stint with last year. Now is it a simple and respected process to do this without going through an agency?
Who draws up a contract?
Are there any negatives?
What about IR35?
Am I missing anything?
I'm pretty new to this game so any help will be massively appreciated.
I am a member of the PCG.
Thanks in advance!

Most clients pay slower than an agency.
What about it?

Also use a PCG one and you won't need an IR35 review, provided what the contract says and how you work are fully aligned.

In my experience tho' the payment terms (payment schedule wise) are usualy pretty poor if it's a big company and you often have to chase invoices. You're just another supplier, and small fry at that. But factor in the agency cut for your dailly rate.
