New management platform for businesses working with freelancers debuts in the UK

The UK has recently seen the launch of a new online automated management platform for businesses that utilize independent workers, aiding in streamlining the management process and reducing paperwork.

Flime.com offers a new cloud-based service that enables businesses to organise and manage their freelance suppliers seamlessly, as though they were in-house staff. It ensures all finance processes are fully compliant with tax legislation and business regulations and any of the administration associated with freelance work is minimised. Headquartered in Amsterdam, Flime is already a successful international business, which has enjoyed significant success with its innovative platform in Russia, and now has its sights firmly set on growing market share throughout Western Europe in the lucrative and rapidly expanding gig economy.

Flime Founder Pavel Shynkarenko said: “Freelancers and contractors play a vital role in the global economy. In the UK alone, there is 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."
