How to conclude a contract for a part-time remote?

Question

Freelance

Good afternoon, please tell us how do you conclude contracts with an employer if you take on a project or work remotely? I mean - let's say my name is to work in a start-up for part time remotely. Accordingly, I would like to conclude a contract? I read that you should always try to conclude a contract, even if there is a bit of work there. I have never worked remotely, so I do not know how to competently approach this.

Answer 1

if the work is a little bit, then the costs of concluding a contract will not be paid off by the price of work,
take a standard contract and conclude an agreement with a company if it is in a rush
if it is abroad, then you need to open a sole proprietorship or LLC, and here it’s worth considering whether such a crap is needed

Answer 2

If there is a lot of work, then you can use elance or upwork as an intermediary. They take a small percentage (8 or 10), but they guarantee payment and resolve conflicts, if any, subject to hourly payment.

Answer 3

If the contract is between you and a company from your country, then the best would be a simple subcontract between the company and you (PE or LLC).
For foreign companies, in principle, this is also the best option, but you will have to pay more time and money for documents (you will have to conduct foreign economic activity, send acts of completed work by regular mail).
Using oDesk and Elance as an intermediary does not make sense in my opinion. 10% that exchanges take, although a small percentage, but with long-term cooperation, a large amount will come up. On the contrary, I use this exchange to search for partners, with whom I then work directly.
Also, oDesk and Elacne are suitable for the "test period" when you are not sure about the work yet and do not want to deal with paperwork ahead of time.
