Flime has set its sights on growing market share throughout Western Europe after launching a new cloud-based service to help businesses better manage their freelancers.
The online and automated service, which ensures all finance processes are fully compliant with tax legislation and business regulations, has been set up to minimise the administration work associated with freelance work.
Flime Founder Pavel Shynkarenko said: “Freelancers and contractors play a vital role in the global economy. In the UK alone, there are an estimated two million freelancers contributing some £271 billion each year. Freelancers now represent six percent of the UK workforce and these figures are only going to grow even higher.
“What businesses are telling us is that they want to continue to benefit from the flexibility and cost effectiveness of using independent freelancers and contractors; but red tape and the issue of compliance with the ever-changing legislative landscape is proving to be a real headache.
“Flime is there to help businesses overcome compliance obstacles – whether it’s dealing with IR35 taxation reform, GDPR, Article 13 Copyright Directive, the Criminal Finances Act, changing tax rules, and so on – we’ve got your back.
“Our objective is to allow businesses to continue to reap the benefits of a truly flexible, international workforce and to concentrate on what they do best – focusing on driving their business to grow profits and market share – without having to worry about all the bureaucracy and its associated paperwork.”
He concluded: “Our mission is to ultimately help the freelance economy to flourish and grow by helping businesses overcome administrative and legal challenges – essentially creating a streamlined, flawless workflow that makes outsourcing your workforce easier and admin-free.”
Headquartered in Amsterdam, Flime is an international business whose innovative platform has already enjoyed significant success in Russia.
