Freelancer – What is a freelancer?
A freelancer is a self-employed person who offers services, often working on several jobs
for multiple clients at one time.
Freelancers usually earn money on a per-job basis, charging hourly or daily rates for their
work. Freelance work is usually short-term.
While  a  freelancer  is  not  officially  employed  by  another  company,  they  can  be
subcontracted  by  other  businesses.  It’s  common  for  freelancers  to  work  on  several
different jobs or projects at once, but some freelance contracts may restrict who else the
freelancer can work for until they complete the project.
Some of the most common freelance jobs are within creative industries such as graphic
design,  copywriting,  website  development,  or  photography;  however,  freelancers  can
work in almost any service-based industry, such as translation, consulting, or catering.

Freelancer vs. sole trader
Like sole traders, a freelancer fits under the broad term ‘self-employed’, but while a sole
trader is a specific businesses structure registered with HMRC, the term ‘freelancer’ does
not refer to any specific legal status. Instead, it refers to the type of work carried out.
As such, not all  sole traders fit  the definition of a freelancer,  and freelancers are not
always  sole  traders.  Although the  sole  trader  business  structure  is  the  most  common
structure  for  freelancers,  freelancers  may  also  choose  to  register  as  a limited
company or partnership instead.
How to become a freelancer
When you first start working for yourself, you will initially be classified as a sole trader.
As a sole trader, you will need to register with HMRC to make sure that you pay the
correct Income Tax and National Insurance.
You may also need to register for:
  CIS  if  you  are  working  as  a  contractor  or subcontractor in  the  construction
industry;
  VAT  if you have an annual turnover of more than £85,000.
If  you  register  as  a  partnership  or  limited  company,  you  will  have  some  additional
responsibilities, such as choosing and registering a company name.
Pros and cons of freelance work
If you are thinking about becoming a freelancer, it's important to weigh up the advantages
and disadvantages of freelance work.
Some of the advantages of being a freelancer include:
 Flexible work schedule: you can choose which hours to work and can set your
own schedule to fit around other commitments.
 Choice and variety: whereas employees are often told which clients to work for, as
a freelancer,  you can pick your projects  and are less confined to specific markets  or
sectors.
 More control: you can set your own goals and will have more say in the direction
of your business.
On the other hand, there are several disadvantages to consider, including:
 Less stability: because freelance work depends on reaching enough clients, many
freelancers have less financial stability and less guarantee of future work than employees
 Fewer  benefits:  many  companies  offer  benefits  for  their  employees,  such  as
insurance or pension plans. Self-employed freelancers would be responsible for their own
perks and benefits.
