Employing tutors?

Wezzad

I am in the process of leasing a premises to deliver classes to secondary level students. As I would like my business to cater for all subjects I need tutors in various other subjects.

It is necessary for me to employ the tutors whom will conduct one or two classes one evening a week? I was thinking of perhaps subcontracting the work or indeed leasing the rooms? Are any if these viable options?

Employing someone is very expensive, also I would may have issues if I need to replace them if results are poor, a position my business cannot take.

I will do the advertising and will expect a percentage payment per pupil.

Any advice appreciated,

You could get them to invoice you for their services. They would be external contractors.

Byrne is right, best to hire them on a freelance basis and get an invoice for their services.

I'm a freelance tutor and one of my employers requires me to submit an invoice at the end of each course. The employer provides the invoice template and includes a clause stating that the freelancer understands that it is his/her responsibility to sort out the payment of taxes.

Thanks for the replys. Accountant was hesitant on taking the "freelacing" route so was a bit doubtful. Invoice idea and contract should cover me.

Thanks
