Your business (as defined in your visa application) may contract your services to clients

I am not talking of contracting out my business services to another business/company, I am talking of taking contract from another business. In essence, I am talking of acting as a contractor required to work at another person's business premises to deliver services. it could take 3/4/5 months.

I hope that is clear now.

You are limited to working for the entity that you created or joined in order to qualify for your Tier 1 (Ent) leave. If that entity will invoice clients for the services you render, that is acceptable. Otherwise, you can't be under the control of a third party.
