Please note…
I am not a legal, business or professional advisor. You need to take advice (from Silva if you would like).
I’m here to give an initial, non-legal view on your IR35 risk. A detailed review and advice is required before you can rely on any response.
You cannot rely on my for formal advice of any kind, and please make sure you contact us if you need anything on which you can rely. Everything I produce should be checked by Silva’s team.
