I've seen an advert for a job that would suit me down to the ground... a company is looking for consultants in the field in which I work, but to be self employed. The company would contract out work to me. It would be working from home, hours to suit etc etc
I am seriously interested but am not sure of the implications of giving up my job and becoming self employed. I realise that I would have to manage my own tax/NI but any further than that I am utterly clueless.
All I would need would be a computer and broadband connection, both of which I already have at home, so startup costs would be next to nothing.
The company is well known in my field and reputable so I'm not concerned that it could be some kind of scam. The ad was in the industry periodical. I have spoken to their HR department and someone is going to give me a call back tomorrow to discuss.
Am I missing anything significant? What else do I need to consider?
TIA
