    I might be too pessimistic about my idea, but why hasn't anyone tried it before?

    Has anybody come across the issue of: if you run a recruitment agency, you can't receive the payment from the workplace and pay it to the contractors i.e. the payment should go directly from the workplace to the contractor.

    Thanks, I will see what they offer. I spoke with Lawbite people; their offer is not too bad, but I am concerned that it might be too good to be true.

    This is so true and I think I have to place it in the core of my T&Cs. On a similar note, what is the best way to get legal help with T&C, please?

    Interesting idea, and I appreciated it. I might implement it later once I grow the client base.

    Now, this is what really triggers my worries. Thanks for sharing the article; I actually read it before starting this thread (hence, I worded the payments as completion incentives, not bonuses in my original thread) Nevertheless, I wasn't sure if simple wording alterations could protect me from...

    The part where the recruiter would pay the freelancers weekly cash bonuses. Valid point, I am considering a strict 2 weeks payment from the businesses (might not be so practical, but I will try to push it) Thanks for mentioning that, it is the responsibility of the workplace to so a...

    Any ideas on how to engage people with surveys? No one is interested in filling them out online.

    I wouldn't describe my research as fully comprehensible as it comes from limited surveys and casual chats with professionals.

    Thanks, Mark My main competitor platform only engaged with 10% of the UK workplaces, and they have no bonuses system. Another platform charges professional fees. My platform pays them. Agencies are 5-10% more expensive, and they impose exclusivity conditions.

    Thanks, Paul My plan to tackle those problems: The offered benefits, such as completion incentives, invoicing, timesheets and calendars should hopefully keep the contractor on the platform even if the workplace tried to engage with them directly. I am already in this industry and hold...

    Warning, a lot of boring details; if you get bored easily, just jump to "However" below. So, I have created an online platform that connects freelancing professionals to workplaces. The platform charges the workplace a commission of 15% of the fees paid to the professionals. The...
