If you run a genuine small business, then you're not in IR35 because you'll be doing jobs for multiple clients.
Come on, let's not pretend here.
- varispeed 1y agoIR35 only applies if the worker owns the business and it's irrelevant how many clients they have. A big consultancy can have just one client for years and IR35 won't apply.
- MattPalmer1086 1y agoI think it is entirely possible to run a genuine small business and only work for a single client at a time - given that what is being sold is the time and skills of the owner. Certainly true that working for multiple clients simultaneously pretty much insulates you from being inside IR35 though.
