The nine to five office grind isn’t the only way of working anymore. There are loads of other options if you want to rethink your working life. Self-employment’s one of them. It can give you a lot more flexibility and be financially rewarding too. But there’s a lot to think about when you’re working for yourself. As well as marketing yourself to clients, you have to take control of your tax and finances in a way that company employees just don’t need to

To take you through all the pros and cons, Kia Commodore’s joined by Georgina Merckel. Georgina founded topa, a small business and non-profit consultancy. And in 2022 she won a Young Freelancer of the Year award.

Kia and her guests share their own personal thoughts and opinions in this podcast. These might be different from Legal & General’s take on things. They give financial guidance for a UK audience that’s relevant at the time of recording. It’s general best practice, not the kind of personalised advice you’d get from a financial adviser.
