Technically you're not a contractor until you've got your first contract. I wouldn't bother setting anything up until you've got very close to a contract - ltd companies can be set up very quickly.

I even spent most of a weekend reading everything I could find about IR35 on here and ended up with a fried brain so needed to give it a rest

Hello! New to forum and contracting
Hi all,
I've just been made redundant with a load of money so decided to jump into contracting with a ltd co.
I've been lurking about here since early December when I started to think about contracting and have read a lot of advice.
I think the main points I learned are ask my accountant and don't trust them!
It was here I learned about the changes to the FRS so have decided to register for standard VAT.
I look forward to learning a lot more and hopefully contributing to discussions.Tags: None
