FAQs
A sole trader is the UK term for a self-employed individual who runs their own business without incorporating as a company. Globally, this type of engagement is often referred to as an “independent contractor” or “unincorporated contractor.” YunoJuno ensures compliance whether you are hiring a sole trader in the UK or a freelancer elsewhere.
Our platform uses built-in classification workflows such as SDC (Supervision, Direction, Control) in the UK, as well as equivalent frameworks internationally. This ensures every engagement is compliant with tax and labor laws, reducing misclassification risk.

The biggest risks are misclassification and non-compliance with tax or labor laws. Misclassified contractors can lead to fines, penalties, and reputational damage. YunoJuno mitigates these risks with automated checks, audit-ready records, and indemnification.
