Sole Trader Contracts, Service Agreements and Contractors Agreements

If your organisation has the staff and time available to carry out a project, then it makes sense to do it yourself.

Often, however, the organisation may simply lack the staff, the time, or sufficient specialised knowledge. If the project is a one-off, it may be impractical to employ someone on a short-term contract and it may be difficult to find a permanent staff member with the necessary skills.

In this instance engaging a specialist Independent consultant or contractor may be the solution.

When engaging a contractor its vital to have a clear understanding of the precise nature of the services to be provided.

This Independent Sole Trader Contractor Agreement has been professionally drafted to spell out the exact nature of the arrangement, defining the rights and obligations of the parties. It includes strict restraint, confidentiality and intellectual property provisions to bind the contractor while still providing the foundation for a healthy ongoing relationship.

The document specifies that the payer agrees to engage the contractor as a Sole Trader on an independent contractor basis.
