We’ve been working in the UK contract/freelance space for 15+ years, and never before have we felt so threatened, under-attack, victimised, accused of all manner of nefarious and underhanded dealings when all we, like you, are trying to do… is earn a crust. The UK looks to be changing for contractors, freelancers, consultants or whatever you prefer to call yourselves – we can’t promise you it is all going to be OK, but we wanted to build something to help keep track of your business, and cover your ass should the day come.
We got tired of feeling isolated in other people’s workplaces, and we wanted to build a system that could have your back when it might feel like nobody else has. Your dependable support should you ever need it. Simple.
Let's get right to it - no such thing as a free lunch, there has to be a catch, right? Nope, no tricks, no intent to sneak fees in. If hosting costs go nuts we might chuck some Ads in, but we will nver ask you for any money. Donations to the Coffee & Donut fund gratefully accepted though!
An easy one! Freelancer's Friend helps you collect and organise the best quality information and evidence possible to support your working practice claims - whether for a difficult client or the powers that be. We're hoping to keep contractors contracting, snd freelancers freelance.

We don’t have any yet, we’ve only just started – but we’re optimistic so we’ve saved a space for them. Hopefully our placeholders will be updated with more impressive sounding things. Maybe not.

Determination to succeed. That doesn’t even make sense.
