Your accountant will of course advise on IR35 compliance, although beware of any company, accountancy or not, that ‘guarantees’ you will not be caught out.
Our sister site, thecontractorsupportnetwork.com offers a package of services which will really help in the area of IR35 compliance, including the following:
Contractor Substitution Network
This is a unique service, which allows you to quickly find a substitute contractor in your area of expertise, in your region. The ability to demonstrate you can find a substitute is one of the main IR35 compliance tests.
Website build and hosting
If your website is either non-existent, looking rather tired, no longer reflecting what you actually do, or worse, not responsive, have a look at the amazing contractor website packages on offer, specifically designed for contractors. Your new site will be something you will be rather proud of! Great for helping with IR35, as it shows you are a real ‘business in business’. You can even add a logo and stationery package, which includes a very high quality business card design and delivery, plus bespoke letter heads and your logo, further strengthening your IR35 compliance.
Have a look at this one offered by The Contractor Support Network here, for just £199!
LinkedIn Profile
The vast majority of recruiters and employers head over to LinkedIn to check out your profile. It needs to dovetail with your CV, and be 100% complete. Get it checked over and if necessary re written for you by an expert LinkedIn Profile writer.
Visit thecontractorsupportnetwork.com to find information on all of the above.

OnlyContractJobs.com adds the latest National and International news to the News section on a weekly basis. You will find news on careers, jobs, and latest industry news, plus you can sign up to receive the news to your inbox weekly. Find the News feed under the ‘News’ menu.
Contractor Insurance/ IR35 Review
Larsen Howie are a major player in IR35 reviews and contractor insurance, offering everything from Professional Indemnity to travel insurance.
Payroll/ Tax Planning/ Ltd Co Set Up
In addition to accountants, there are many payroll companies who offer Umbrella and/or Ltd Co services for contractors. Who you choose is dependent on individual circumstances. For instance, some agencies will only work with Ltd Co Contractors; others strongly recommend you use a particular umbrella company. However, if you have consistently received an outstanding service from a contractor provider, it would be great to hear about it as we may then invite them to advertise on OnlyContractjobs.com, and/or add them here. It is always good to share great feedback.
