If you’re new to the world of contracting, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with your new responsibilities –  you’re now in charge of your finances, your career decisions and managing your business. That’s why having the right support network is crucial.

We have been providing insight for the self-employed for over a quarter of a century, advising contractors and freelancers on key decisions. We have a wealth of experience in dealing with every consideration, from whether to set up as a limited company or an umbrella, to IR35 and how it affects contractors.

Our resources hub is designed to provide advice on all topics self-employed, no matter where you are in your journey. Whether you are starting out or you are an experienced contractor looking to brush up on one little thing, we have you covered.

We pride ourselves on giving you peace of mind with guides which are up to date and relevant to you.
