How do I set up myself as an independent Consultant?
Make sure you really qualify as an independent contractor. Choose a business name (and register it, if necessary). Get a tax registration certificate (and a vocational license, if required for your profession). Pay estimated taxes (advance payments of your income and self-employment taxes).
What kind of hours do independent consultants work?
Independent consultants usually work during regular business hours, but if you work in retail or observe overnight manufacturing shifts as part of your analysis, you might occasionally work nights and weekends. Those who are self-employed have the freedom to work more or less, depending on financial need or desire.
Is there an agency that works with independent consultants?
We are a consultant agency working only with independent consultants. Since 2007, we have delivered IT and Business experts to +370 companies. We work with everything from management of large projects to the development of innovative solutions for small customers.
How is the salary of an independent consultant determined?
Because many independent consultants are self-employed, their yearly income is based upon the kind of jobs they get and how often they perform projects for clients. A consultant who stays busy throughout the year will likely earn a higher income than one who has frequent periods of down time.
Do you need a timesheet to work as an independent consultant?
Time is money and as an independent consultant, it’s a saying that can be taken literally. Many customers will pay you on an hourly basis, regardless of whether you work on-site or remotely, so you’ll probably need to track and document how many hours you’ve worked on their project.
