Consultancies

Consultancies and contracting companies are welcome to use people4business to market the services of their consultants and contractors.

Access new markets

By registering with people4business your company benefits from access to businesses throughout the UK looking for skilled professionals.

How do you register?

Your consultants and contractors can easily register as individual Sellers on people4business. You simply need to provide them with your company and bank details. You can also register on their behalf by filling out all the appropriate details, although you need to ensure that they also agree with the terms and conditions of people4business. See the Seller Zone for more information on being a Seller on people4business.

Setting your rates

All Sellers’ rates are published on people4business. Our 10% margin is added on to the Seller’s own rate to come up with the published rate. This margin is substantially lower than standard agency margins, so we’re confident that our Sellers’ rates will still be very competitive. You are free to flex the rates you set for your Sellers to take advantage of either a slow or buoyant market at the time.

Payments

Payments for contracts your consultants gain as Sellers with people4business will be made to your consultancy. We deal with all your Sellers' invoicing and credit control. Our usual business practice will be to pay Sellers at 30 calendar days after of the invoice to the Buyer being raised. The invoice will be raised either upon completion of the contract or, for those contracts lasting for longer than one month, on a monthly basis.

Fasterpay

If you want quicker payment, you can choose our Fasterpay option. For an additional charge of just 3% of your total payment, we can bring payment forward to within 5 business days after the invoice has been raised.

Flexibility

Registering your consultants as Sellers on people4business.com gives you added flexibility. You have access to new markets when your consultants are less busy. And when you are really stretched, you can even use people4business to buy in some new talent for a contract!

The small print

When your consultants enter into a contract through people4business, you and they agree with our terms and conditions, which include the undertaking that any subsequent contract with that Buyer will be invoiced through people4business.
