In the UK, businesses can work with self-employed professionals instead of hiring employees. This is a common practice in industries such as IT, marketing, construction, and other project-based sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This model gives companies more flexibility: there is no need to run payroll, pay employer National Insurance contributions, or follow full employment contract obligations. The contractor manages their own work and issues invoices for services provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
