I would suggest Helispeed look into the issues of IR35 and being solely working for one company as a contractor.
On the type rating front as I mentioned on another post pilots paying for there own type rating is becoming common place I know of 4 pilots now and a fifth who is getting part finding from the company all its doing is pushing the goal posts further and making easy for companies taking the P*ss further.
But that’s my 10p worth.
