Hi, I have only contracted once for a two month period (couple of years ago) which I did via an umbrella company. I have otherwise been in permanent employment. I am though going to do some contracting now and see how it goes. I have just secured a 3 month contract with a major blue chip company. It may be extended, but runs for an initial 3 month period. They have stated their offices as the place of work, but have advised that I can work from home some days each week and will need to do some travelling.
I have just had a call from the company onboarding team rushing me for a huge amount of information. I am going to be setting up a limited company imminently via the company I used before. On this type of deal am I falling foul of any rules (just trying to underastand IR35, etc)? The guy at the umbrella company (they also set up ltd companies) said I have nothing to worry about, but he wants me to sign up. The other thing I have been asked is if I want to opt out of conduct regulations. Any advice regarding my position here?
Sorry it's all a bit basic to experienced contractors, but when you are new to it, it's all a bit of a minefield.
All advice welcome. Thanks.
