Contract review costs

[SteelyDan]

From what I can see QDOS charge £49 for a "contract assessment", or £125 for a "full contract review". May be extra if you want very swift turnaround.

Yes that what I was seeing, but others above in thread seemed to disagree with that.
Yes, I'd want it done sharpish, so cost would increase accordingly; not looking for a full review just the assessment, which I think will be sufficient.

Bad thinking, imho. Compare a couple of hundred quid against the earned value of the average gig - somewhere around £25k - and it is hardly significant. And there is a lot more to a contract than IR35: how many posts do we see about delayed or missing payments, conditions that people hadn't realised they were bound by, abrupt terminations and the like? Far more than we ever do about IR35 (most of which are based on incomplete understanding anyway).

You want to be a contractor, behave like a business. Price and cost are two different things.

You are correct, of course.

You are correct, of course.

You think a 24 hour contract review is expensive. Wait till you see how much he's going to charge you for that advice.

But worth every penny of course...
