Would anyone be able to recommend a solicitors or personal contact who could advise me on engaging the services of a freelance sales person?

In theory, the freelancer will have access to my companies systems, act for us in the generation of business and engage in sales.

I envisage remuneration will be a % of whatever income they generate - at the end of the every month, they invoice my company for the commission owed.

I'd like a good contract in place that does it's best at being IR35 compliant while allowing the freelancer to perform the role for my company.

Are you expecting your sales person to operate through an intermediary vehicle - such as a limited company?
Yes, I would think so. Although, open to advice on that.

Be very careful. IR35 only applies to those who have been hired through an intermediary. If you hire somebody as an individual, you will not be looking at IR35.

Have you spoken to your accountant?
I have a meeting with them next week. Would you suggest I wait for the outcome of that meeting before seeking further advice?
