Challenges

Challenges contractors face

Working as a contractor in the UK gives you flexibility, independence and improves your earning potential. However, unlike permanent employees, you will not receive employment benefits. No paid holiday, sick leave or a company pension scheme.

It's important to manage your finances differently to how employees would. From navigating IR35 legislation and managing your business expenses to figuring out the best way to pay yourself from your company.

Common questions

  • Should I set-up a limited company or use an umbrella company?
  • What do I need to know about IR35?
  • What type of a business insurance do I need?
  • Can I claim for a home office if I work from home?
  • How much salary vs dividends should I take from my limited company?
  • What’s the Flat Rate VAT scheme, and is it right for me?
  • What are allowable expenses?
  • How to go about securing a mortgage if I'm a contractor?
