Immediacy is a term that has a bad reputation these days. Expectations for tasks to be done as fast as possible rises and increases stress among many. When speaking about freelancers, however, immediacy is a must. Freelancers thrive in real-time environments and companies are expected to keep up

Businesses understand the benefit of using a pool of talented and flexible freelancers in their workforce and they are jumping on the “gig economy” train.

Working for yourself seemed near impossible in the early 2000’s. Managers found it hard to work with individuals not contracted as employees. Today is a different story.

Companies see the potential of the freelance economy and with it, they are adapting to the technology needed to manage freelance contracts. Cloud-based Freelance Management System (FMS) are being implemented in corporations to help HR and hiring employees with the paperwork needed to manage the administration of their new workforce.

With good research, correct administration and a great business plan, you can lead a successful venture in the U.K. The U.K freelancing industry grew to 4.8 million self-employed workers in 2017 and continues to rise with more men, women and millennials taking on the challenge.
