First off my apologies to anybody who is sat there without a contract - this might seem a like a trivial problem to have. After three months of no work myself I have just started a contract with a public organisation in London that is inside IR35 and means I have to umbrella up. Full WFH for 4.5 months and then who knows. Rate is bearable given it is WFH but I believe that the Inside IR35 thing is due to me gettting this contract through a tech consultancy who have stated their contracts have to be inside. I have a suspicion that other contracts on the project from other third party tech providers may be outside.
I have also just been approached by a previous client with a three months outside IR35 contract WFH but for a good bit less.
My choice is 4.5 months w govt\public organisation and therefore likely several extensions but all the time being pissed off about having to close my Ltd vs a three monther but at the moment nothing beyond that (specific project requirement) and I can work through my Ltd and keep it alive.
Am I being too emotional in wanting to keep my company? Or should I just bin it, ride out the current storm (and the reintroduction of IR35 in April that might just tip the boat up yet again) in what should be a safe and possibly long term inside contract?
