And never believe them when they tell you the contract is "IR35 friendly". There's no such thing!

Just remember that no matter how much the pimps tell you Opt In/Out and IR35 have nothing to do with each other.

Welcome.

Hello from the South West

Morning all,

Just thought I would say 'hello'.

I've looked at this forum on-and-off for a number of years now, and recently joined it. Having been made redundant from a permie job and realising that I didn't have as much job security as I thought I had, I bit the bullet and thought I would try contracting. It's all a bit of an experiment, but my thinking was that after my first 6mth contract I'd have a much better idea whether it was for me or not.

So far, I'm enjoying it. I've found there has been lots of admin - ltd company set-up, insurances, accountants, business bank accounts, timesheets, invoices etc. but I'm pretty organised so it should be ok once I've been through it a few times.

I'm also still learning loads (which is why I am here), especially around the areas of Opt In/Out and IR35 which after much reading still confuse me.

Thanks,

GB
