If you're going to take two and then sub one out, then you need to be 100% sure that the client will allow you a full and unfettered right of substitution.
If you're going to attempt to do two contracts at the same time (I once did three, all were part time), then you need to be very clear as to each client's expectations (both practically and contractually). If you're charging a day rate, then clients expect a full day's work for a full day's pay. Trying to double bubble will lead to all sorts of problems. Or, you end up doing 16 hour days and burning out.

However, you said "start hiring": are you planning to subcontract, i.e. hire someone else to do one of the contracts? If so, that puts a different spin on it.Leave a comment:

1. Read the contracts. That will tell you what you can and cannot do.
2. Try searching the forums a little harder. This is asked repeatedly. General advice you'll get is don't do it unless you know what you're doing. I do it and it works very well (££££££). If you have to ask I'm not sure you know what's involved.Leave a comment:
