About Freelance Contracts

A freelance contract sets out the deliverables, payment terms, intellectual property ownership, and IR35 status for a UK self-employed engagement. Without one, you\u2019re relying on goodwill — a written contract protects both sides if scope, deadlines, or payment go sideways.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should the contract cover?

Scope of work, deliverables, payment terms, deadlines, IP ownership, confidentiality, IR35 self-assessment, termination, dispute resolution, governing law.

What about IR35?

For UK contractors working through limited companies, IR35 determines whether you\u2019re inside or outside scope. The contract should reflect the actual working relationship and your IR35 status.

Do I need it for short jobs?

Yes — even a 1-day job benefits from a written agreement. Disputes over payment are easier to resolve when terms are recorded.

Is this free to generate?

Yes — free for single use. Pro and Elite plans give clean downloads.
