Our mission at The Guild is to stand up for self-employment, and to ensure it is used correctly and by the book. We believe passionately in self-employment, which can fuel productivity and generate wealth. The Guild has more than 20 years’ experience of fostering entrepreneurial spirit, giving people the flexibility and advice necessary to enable them to focus on their own skills, and ensuring that every freelancer is paid fairly for their work. Launching Guild Freelancing is a crucial next step in our business journey. We will provide a fair deal for the freelancer. Guild Freelancing will help to empower freelancers and help businesses to attract better talent - while adhering to our key principle of ensuring status compliance for the benefit of supply chains. The pandemic and recent IR35 changes have presented challenges to many sectors, and we are proud to offer a service that benefits all. We will continue to work to ensure that false employment cannot squash the UK’s passion for self-employment, and the flexibility it offers.
