This workshop is specifically designed for creative people who have been in employment but are looking to set up as self-employed for the first time. This can be a daunting prospect and we aim to de-mystify the whole process.
We look at how you can organise and take control of your finances, understand taxes and start to think more like a business, and will cover:
- How employment and self-employment differ; PAYE vs Sole Trader vs Limited Company
- How to set budgets in your personal life and target how hard to work
- How HMRC treats sole traders and other types of freelancers
- How to agree work and get paid on time
- How to reduce stress with cash flow planning
The session is designed to be informative, while also being enjoyable and interactive. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion and all participants will have access to useful templates and downloadable resources, some of which will be demonstrated during the session.
