Agiliqui Consulting (UK) was incorporated in 2014 and is the limited company through which Martin Lambert provides consultancy services.

Services are provided on a B2B basis, direct with the client wherever possible.  Arrangements with established and accredited recruitment agents are also welcome.

Off Payroll Working legislation in 2021 (also known as IR35) created new obligations for clients, contractors and intermediaries.  In summary, the onus to determine the deemed employment status now sits with the client, unless the client is a small company (as defined by the Companies Act 2006).

Clients can take confidence that agile consultancy by its nature is not going to be subject to the key tests of supervision, direction and control; the aspects which largely determine the deemed employment status.  Clear statements of work at an agreed price further emphasise this.

Purchase of a ‘product’ (e.g. an established or publicly offered training class) does not fall in scope of the OPW legislation.

For this reason Agiliqui Consulting will draft with all clients a statement of work to be agreed before commencing work, and will also run an independent IR35 SDS assessment.

This does not take the place of suitable legal advice and compliance with the obligations of all parties involved in the supply of services.
