ContractorUK is actually pretty good, and have some good starter articles: https://www.contractoruk.com/first_timers https://www.contractoruk.com/first_timers Also their forum is active and also ok. My only warning is that there's presently a shit storm for contractors raging which is HMRC's handling of IR35, basically them trying to tax all contractors as employees even though they have none of the protections. I'm not contracting at the moment, but as I understand it, it makes a massive difference to take home if you get caught in IR35. New rules are supposed to be coming in from April 2020. I think public sector contracts are already under new rules and it's much more likely in that sector to get a contract that they're declaring to be under IR35. Because you have to pay the employer's NIC bill as well as your own I think it means some contracts are ultimately worth something like 16% less than advertised.
