Loan Out Contracts
Loan out Contracts cover those who are classed as self-employed or run/engaged through a Limited Company
A person is self-employed if they run their business for themselves and take responsibility for its success or failure.
Self-employed workers are not paid through PAYE, and they do not have the rights and responsibilities of an employee.
In most cases, it is likely that SSP is not applicable.
