Hiring freelancers or independent contractors can help your business grow—but only if you're managing compliance the right way. Staying on top of tax forms, contracts, and legal rules is essential if you want to avoid costly mistakes.

This free checklist helps you review every part of your contractor setup. If you’re unsure about how your current process stacks up, this is a great place to start.

What’s Inside the Checklist

An easy-to-follow guide that helps you:

  • Spot missing forms or outdated agreements
  • Make sure freelancers are correctly classified
  • Check for tax and legal compliance in every country you hire from
  • Review payment systems, contracts, and IP protections
  • Get audit-ready with the right documents in place

This resource is built for companies of any size. Whether you're working with just a few contractors or managing a large global network, it will help you stay organized and protected.

Who This Is For

  • Finance, legal, HR, or operations teams
  • Anyone hiring or managing freelancers or contractors
  • Companies hiring in the U.S. or globally
  • Teams looking to avoid risk and improve workflows

Why It Matters

Missing a tax form, misclassifying a contractor, or forgetting to renew a contract can lead to fines, delayed payments, or legal trouble. This checklist helps you stay ahead of these problems with simple, clear steps.
