For Prospective Members

Whether you are currently an independent contractor or thinking of becoming one – congratulations!  You are moving in the right direction and taking part in a growing trend of smart professionals who want to take charge of their career and increase their income potential.  Working independently is a very gratifying and rewarding experience, but it can also be very hard work.  Most independent professionals decide to go independent because they have a great talent and want to take that talent to a variety of customers, not just one employer.  Most however, do not realize the challenges and overhead associated with the business behind the contracting.  So how can you gain your freedom, doing what you know and love, keeping more of that impressive billing rate, without losing the often-overlooked benefits of the old style corporation?

Professional Independents, Inc is a network of independent contractors who want to gain collective benefits of a group, without being tied to one company. In addition to providing the basics like email addresses, business cards and a professional corporate name and logo to work under, Professional Independents handles:

Invoicing - You tell us how many hours you worked, have them approved by the client, and we create and send the invoice directly to the client.                                                                                                   

Expense Processing - We deduct allowable expenses from your pretax income that reduces your taxable income.  No need to hassle with expenses at tax time, as your expenses are a part of Professional Independents books, not yours. If your expenses are reimbursable by the client, then you are paid 100%.

Payroll - We pay you as an employee, taking care of tax withholdings for federal, social security and Medicare.  We also pay the employer portion of the taxes.  No need for you to worry with Self Employment taxes, or the monthly, quarterly and yearly filings required at the corporate level.  We even pay you a set monthly salary that you can count on, while you are billing, regardless of the speed of your clients’ payments.  Your bonuses are payable as soon as we receive payment from your client. 

Health insurance - We offer optional plans for nationwide coverage for you and your family.

Liability Protection - We provide professional liability coverage for all members for $1M. We also provide general liability and workers compensation insurance. Your prospective client will require proof of these policies before you can begin work and billing.

Legal Services - We provide standard contracts, advice and experience that are available to you when you take on a new role with a new or existing client.

Other important items:

Referral Bonus Program - It is easy to earn residual income by leveraging your professional network.  Member referrals are worth $1,000 and referrals of new clients with jobs for other members can net 2% of all billings to that client up $10,000.  If you simply refer on a contract opening at an existing client that gets filled by a member, you get 1% of those billings up to $2,000 - An easy way to make money while creating a cooperative environment for members to find work.  Your personal network will be multiplied by all of our members and their networks – which means finding a contract becomes a bit easier.

Payment Structure - You will always know your billing rate, because we do not mark up your rates. We pay you in salary and bonuses an amount between 75% and 85% of your billing.  The exact % is dependent upon the source of your contract. 

Foreign Nationals - We offer visa transfers and sponsorship where feasible.  Ask us about your particular situation.

Contact Us - If you are billing at rates of $100 /hr or more, then call or email us for more information on how to get started.
