London, Monday 1st August 2011 – The definitive guide to contracting in the UK is now available from Amazon.co.uk as an ebook for Kindle. Brought to you by the leading UK website for contractors and freelancers, ContractorCalculator.co.uk, the Contractors’ Handbook ebook features nearly 500 electronic pages. And it is packed full of practical and easy to follow advice essential for successful, enjoyable and profitable contracting.
“The latest economic surveys all show that more people are choosing contracting than ever before, so it makes perfect sense to make the UK’s expert guide to contracting available as a Kindle ebook,” says ContractorCalculator CEO Dave Chaplin. He is also the author of The Contractors’ Handbook: the expert guide for UK contractors and freelancers. “This will ensure contractors and freelancers have access to great content in a format that suits their needs,”
The Contractors’ Handbook removes the mystique of contracting for all the first timers who have joined the contracting sector this year. It is also an invaluable reference guide for experienced contractors, providing clear coverage of the IR35 tax legislation, identifying what contractors need to know, explaining how to handle typical contracting scenarios, and making it clear when to ask for expert help.
The ebook edition contains all the same features of the Contractors’ Handbook, with ‘how-to’ sections on CV writing, choosing how to trade, IR35 and much more. “I’ve included every winning strategy I developed during my successful career as a contractor,” explains Chaplin, “plus added the wealth of unique reference material and FAQs from ContractorCalculator.co.uk. For experienced contractors who want to raise their game, there are advanced sections on marketing, sales and negotiation techniques, plus answers to all those questions that seem simple, but often aren’t.”
The ebook joins other recent ContractorCalculator innovations, which include the ContractorCalculator.co.uk iPhone app, and the widely used and recommended Online IR35 Test.
Chaplin is pleased that both newcomers to contracting and freelancing and experienced contractors can now access this comprehensive and invaluable contracting resource on Kindle. “I wish that the Contractors’ Handbook had been available when I first started contracting. Now that it is available as an ebook, even more contractors can benefit from its guidance and advice.”
Dave Chaplin is a former IT contractor in the City of London, and is founder and CEO of ContractorCalculator, and author of the Contractors' Handbook.
Started in 1999, ContractorCalculator (this site) is the leading independent website for the UK contracting industry – most of whom are highly skilled knowledge workers.
