Independent contractors are called freelancers, and free agents among many other things. This is primarily because Independentcontractors are their own bosses. They do not work in as an employee in any particular company but rather sell their services for a fee. The independent contractors decide themselves how, when and where the work is to be done. The relationship is like contract rather than that of a salaried employee. There is a an automatic balancing act between control and independence as the independent contractors want to land up more job contracts, then they have to satisfy their clients.
Since the unlike regular employees, on whom the companies have to pay expensive long-term benefits, independent contractors have a greater income.
Independent contractor start with the very basics like business cards, letterheads and independent contractor agreements. In the initial stages, independent contractors may find it difficult to sign up contracts on their own so they take the help of agencies who may deduct a commission.
