> If you look like an employee, regardless of the legal layout, you'll be remunerated like one.

This just isn’t true. I’m currently with a FTSE100 financial institution and inside IR35 contractors make way more than perms at the same level of experience. They just don’t want headcount on their books, and still have work that needs doing, and they will pay to get it done.

The problem is job security at the moment.

If you don’t look like an employee, you’ll not get treated like one…

> Be a business. They make more money.

Completely agree, but most business owners make money by exploiting someone else’s labour.

That may be true but it's partly because financial services companies are infamous for not paying their PAYE developers very well and having very bad working conditions. Most people who can get £750+ assignment rates via an umbrella company in the financial sector weren't going to be making sub-£100k on salary in an open market either.
