you can work for the company if they register you under the company registration number if they do not do this then you cannot work for them legally

then you would be working as a gas subbie, under your reg number, under your public liability insurance, and under your risk, yes you are right no issue (for the company and all on your shoulders) why would you want to even consider this for a second, if they want you to do gas work to make them more profit let them spend the £63 to add you to their register, its a no brainer

They would still have to register you under their gas safe. If you work for them under your own gas safe then you would be sub contracting and technically would be self employed. Any decent company will register you under their own gas safe as soon as you start working for them

if you are registered under your own registration then you would be classed as either an agency worker or self employed carrying out work for the company

If someone is wanted you to work "direct" for them but use your own gas safe I would tell them to shove it up their hoop and run a mile

the jobs you see advertised are for sub contractors, no prob in that, what the OP is talking about is him working as direct labour but using his own GSR and therefore taking all the risk, for employee T&C's

I guess it boils down to how much you need the work.Not for me though.
