Guides
Practical guides on UK contracts for freelancers, IR35 contractors, recruiters, and consultants. Real clause language. UK statutory references. No generic advice.
The six contract clauses HMRC examines first — substitution rights, no MOO, control, financial risk, SDS clause — and what each one must say to support an outside-IR35 determination.
Fee crystallisation on introduction, backdoor hire clause, rebate schedule, Conduct Regulations 2003 — what each clause does, what happens without it, and when to get ToB signed.
The essential clauses every UK freelance contract needs — IP ownership, kill fees, revision rounds, Late Payment Act provisions, and IR35 substitution rights. With real contract language.
How to use a UK freelance agreement template — what to include, how to get it signed quickly, the three IR35 traps in most free templates, and when a generated contract beats a template.
