About the book
At last...
... the information, step-by-step guidance and advice we’ve all been looking for! After 14 years contracting I thought I was a pro’, but the Contractors’ Handbook has opened my eyes. I wish I’d had this when I was starting out, but it’s just as useful to me now.
Paul Ross UK Contracting veteran
Despite the desperate shortage of contractors across every sector, many highly skilled workers in permanent employment wrongly assume they don’t have what it takes to make the move into contracting.
At the same time, experienced contractors are working in ways that make them miss out on the best contracts, leave them vulnerable to prosecution by the taxman, and cause them to earn much less than they should.
The Contractors’ Handbook removes the mystique of contracting for first timers and is an invaluable reference guide for experienced contractors.
For unbeatable coverage of the key issues facing contractors NOW, the Contractors’ Handbook provides:
- In-depth how-to guide for CV writing and interviews
- Key guidance on the latest IR35 case law
- Unique section on ‘what to do when things go wrong’
- Advanced marketing and sales for contractors
- Advice on contracting abroad and coming to the UK.
