Often what looks like a direct to client engagement gets put through an agency (on minimal margin) because the client doesn't want to engage you direct so check this first...

If they really do want to go direct then join the PCG and use one of their standard contracts.

No, he doesn't say that he wants to go Ltd:

I interpreted that as the client being a Ltd company, not that he wants to go Ltd.

But Malvolio is right - if he goes ltd, he must make sure that his direct contract is one that isn't, in fact, of employment.

Agreed.

Hi-

A past client of mine has approached me directly. At that time(2 yrs back) I was contracted through a staffing agency who paid me a daily rate after deducting their cut.

Your employer - the umbrella company - should be able to provide the client with a business to business contract template

Ermm... I think you'll find he does, the OP's limited company is still an intermediary...

IR35 doesn't apply to umbrella companies.

Maybe you should read the first timers guide over there -->

Erm, maybe, maybe not - the OP say he is with an umbrella, but also mentions a Ltd.

Agree a contract between the client and your employer. If the client hasn't got a standard contract, then get one from the PCG or Qdos or somewhere similar and use that instead.

Agreed

Since IR35 isn't an issue, then at least you don't have to worry about that.
