    At least I still have their insurance, not sure the rest of it is worth it.
    Same here, I have their insurance and user their contract templates. But it's been ages since I've logged onto their site. I've given up on IR35 changing for the better.

    Nah there is a difference -

    The Fed of Small Businesses is for people who employ others but sometimes don't.
