Statutory Standards and Frequently Asked Questions
A Business Development Manager contract based in London is still assessed on facts, not postcode. Status paperwork should reflect London attendance, hybrid days, and substitution. Inside IR35 Business Development Manager pay in London is usually umbrella or PAYE, while an outside SDS lets the London contractor invoice through a limited company. Advertised London rates follow a London rate premium, so city uplifts do not imply an outside finding. Travel between home and a London office is rarely a substitute right. Check London on-site expectations for this Business Development Manager before you treat the SDS as settled.
