A clear written agreement for engaging consultants, freelancers, or contractors. Suitable for businesses engaging individuals or companies on a self-employed basis to provide services.
What’s included:
• A consultation to understand the engagement and working arrangements.
• Drafting of a consultancy agreement covering scope of services, fees, payment terms, IP ownership, confidentiality, data protection, and termination.
• One round of revisions based on your feedback.
• Final version ready to issue.
What’s not included:
• IR35 assessment (see IR35 / Employment Status Check).
• Employment law advice if the engagement may be one of employment rather than self-employment.
• Tax advice (including VAT, corporation tax, income tax, capital gains tax, and stamp duty). If specialist tax advice is needed, I can recommend a suitable accountant or tax adviser.
FAQ
Q: Why is a written agreement important for a freelancer?
A: A written agreement clarifies the working relationship, protects your IP, and supports the position that the engagement is one of self-employment rather than employment. Without a written agreement, there is a greater risk of disputes and adverse IR35 assessments.
