      Thanks for your guidance these last couple of days, if I can be candid, it's been abrupt but very useful

      I will phone QDOS tomorrow to ascertain if they will insure me for the GSK gig (still waiting on a concrete offer) , if they don't I will assume there's a BIG risk and not move forward but if they do insure me, do you suppose I should entertain the idea of moving forward?
      The contract job market is super quiet in my remit and I really want to be billing / utilised as much as I can be prior to April 2020 when the whole landscape changes

            Also, another simple question, can I keep my limited company open while operating via an umbrella for the 6 month gsk gig?

                You don’t have cover for past roles ?

                I assume not, you are a gonner when HMRC come knocking

                  It's never been a requirement from any job agencies.
                  I always thought IR35 insurance was optional not a must have

                    IR35 Court Cases: History of all cases and references to judgments

                    In terms of volume of IR35 cases, the list is relatively small no?

                      No. IR35 insurance is not optional, it's not mandated, but you'll need it if you contract in the UK and want to off-load any investigation to a professional. It's personal protection. Get some.
