It is my understanding, per my local SBA, that you cannot have an individual (i.e. a non-company individual) be an independent contractor. To the contrary, that an independent contractor must be a company. However, I'm now hearing from alternate sources that an individual can be an independent contractor. So who's right?
It seems that there has to be a legal way to create an agreement between a company (sole proprietorship) and an individual that treats that individual the same as a contractor - i.e. the company and the individual agree that the company is not held liable in any manner (unemployment, taxes, insurance, etc.) and that the individual assumes full liability. Does anyone know a simple way of doing this?
Is there any place on the web where I can find an example of a contract for an individual independent contractor?
And most importantly: Will I be responsible for taxes, insurances or expenses if I have independent contractors; what would they be? FYI, I'm in TX.
