How does it work in say solicitors partnerships where they buy in to a certain value and share out the profits while having to retain a certain percentage? I think that's how it works, from my watching of suits! (That literally is my level of knowledge on the topic)

It doesn’t really work unless you are looking at EIB or growth share type schemes and they really don’t work in this type of scenario.
IMHO, it's all a load of nonsense though. Anyone who tries something along these lines needs their heads examined, even if it's theoretically possible.Comment

FWIW, client sounded out some of their contractors and had few takers so that idea is dead. Unlike JB, I'd have been willing to do it, they'd have made it worth my while.
They're in a bind. They don't want the risk of declaring everyone outside but their project is going to die. They are trying to find ways to mitigate the hit to contractors, they say they are prepared to accept the cost of ERNI, but they'd have to uplift by 30% and even then, some of their guys are going to leave because of the risk on the historical contracts.Comment

The project has run for 20 months so far. Most of the contractors have said under no circumstances will they stay without an outside determination because of the historical risk. By April, they're risking 22 months of outside work being dragged inside just because of the client's risk aversion.
If you thought you were at risk of IR35 taxes for 22 months, would you take a 6-9 month uplift of £100 / day as compensating you for that? I wouldn't.Comment
