Do any of you ever do any 'direct' work for an individual rather than a company? While obviously not as lucrative, are there any major differences or pitfalls compared to B2B work?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Milan occasionally does a bit of kinky stuff on the side
but apart from that I'd say you're looking in the wrong forum.

What things do you handle differently from contracting to a company? I guess there's no contract for a start...Originally posted by MrsGoofI've done a bit

Why not? I don't see why the type of contract you form with a company couldn't also apply to an individual.Originally posted by super
It could be that you're more likely to be paid as it's less likely an individual will go bankrupt than a limited company.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Thanks for all your thoughts. This is a very small job, so I'll go with a verbal agreement on hourly rate and then invoice him/her at the end of the job. Thanks.Comment

go with an email agreement
quote hours and stick to your quote
else quote maximum hours and complete early
good luck

make sure you get an agreement of the work to be completed, say that you are working on an hourly basis, and get them to sign your timesheet when you leave....
I do a similar thing, i get a request to deliver some services (via email), with a list of tasks to perform, then i would recommend a timeframe to complete these tasks, then i do the work, get the client to sign my timesheet (been there, got the t-shirt, DONT do it without one!), invoice the client (with timesheet / copy of email requesting work) and wait for the spondoolies to turn up in my bank!"Fish is the only food that is considered spoiled once it smells like what it is."
