What working with me will cost

 

My rate is £40 per hour plus any  expenses.  I always pre-agree the time I am to spend on a brief and have a discussion about any other costs.  If I spend less time, then I invoice less and if I spend more then that’s down to me – unless there has been a significant change to the original brief.

 

I can also confirm  - as this sometimes comes up – that I am registered with the Inland Revenue as self-employed, pay national insurance contributions and complete a self-employment tax return each year.  There will be no issues relating to your use of me as a freelance should you be subject to an Inland Revenue audit! I invoice on headed paper with a well-maintained invoice numbering and dating system.

 

What working with me won’t cost

 

Sleepless nights; irritation at missed deadlines; time in trying to find me; impatience at poor grammar; unexpected elements on invoices.

 

On an administrative note

 

Every draft you receive from me has a quick reference panel showing your business name, the project, the date and which version of the draft you are looking at.  Filenames are straightforward and contain a version control reference and the date.

 

The documents I maintain on each brief include a spreadsheet in which I keep an accurate record of the time I spend on your project.
