The Contractor Support Network is a service designed specifically to enable contractors to quickly and easily facilitate a holistic solution to help them to keep on the right side of IR35, and meet their legal responsibilities of doing whatever they can to ensure the success of their business.
By engaging your Ltd Company with The Contractor Support Network you will clearly be able to demonstrate that your business is truly “in business” which in turn provides insulation from being deemed to being “akin to employed” thus affording you various opportunities only available to a genuine commercial enterprise.
Your Monthly Subscription Includes All Of The Below.
The monthly fee is just £85 plus vat.
Entry In The Contractor Substitution Network Directory
Why is this important?
Your contract should include a substitution clause. Being a member of the Directory allows you to search for and find another contractor with similar expertise in your geographical location who can act as as a substitute if required.
A Professional Business Website
Why is this important?
You must be seen to be an operational business, in business, marketing your services as any business would in order to meet your legal requirements. A professional website, which clearly explains the services of your company is essential for this.
Website Hosting and Business Email Address
Why is this important?
Secure website hosting ensures your website stays safe. Having a Business email address demonstrates you are a professional business, expecting to receive emails from those interested in your services.
LinkedIn Profile Analysis
Why is this important?
Your LinkedIn profile should include information about your Limited Company, with a link to your company page. We will advise you on what you should do and how best to do it to strengthen your IR35 position.
CV Expert Analysis
Why is this important?
An outstanding CV is a must for contractors. The analysis will include suggestions as to how you can improve it to help you be chosen for interview. In addition, to be found by recruiters, your CV needs to successfully pass through their Automatic Checking Systems – and if your keywords relating to your expertise are not in the right place, you could easily miss out on even being found for a new role, despite it being perfect for your business.
CV Added To A Specialist Contractor Jobs Board
Why is this important?
Advertising your business shows the commitment you are giving to help ensure the success of your business. In addition, one measure of whether you are inside or outside IR35 could come down to the length of time you have been in a contract. Placing your CV on a contractors job board demonstrates you do not expect the contract to go on long term, and that you are in the market for new contracts for your business.

The Contractor Support Network is a must for all contractors in my opinion. The substitution directory has already been really useful and I love my new website. I bought the whole business stationery package with the logo and am really pleased with the professional profile my company now has.
I joined The Contractor Support Network to enhance my company profile. By being a member I know it is strengthening my outside IR35 position. Set up was great and I got a lot of additional tips from the team as well.
I opted for the full CV service in addition to my subscription which has been really worthwhile. The guy really knows his stuff and transformed my CV – I thought it was quite good until he looked at it! Using the new CV I got a new contract within a couple of weeks. Really pleased.
