Why do you say private contracting is rare in the UK? Every software company I've been to here is like 50% contractors.

Most companies will contract through a management firm than with the individual directly.

Not really in the UK - its mostly PLC or Umberella Companies for contractors.

The fake contractor aka a body shop where you are a normal employee of some third party is not that common.
