If you're a contractor, you know that subcontractors are an essential part of getting your work done.

𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴? 🤔

Subcontractors are people or companies hired by the main contractor to do a specific job on a larger project. Subcontractors charge for their services and are often freelancers who work for themselves.

It's important to understand what a subcontractor is before you engage with a business. And one thing we've learned from our customers? 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀! ❌

That's why we created this list of things you need to know about subcontractors:

• Types of Subcontractors
• The Pros and Cons of Subcontracting
• The Differences Between Contractors and Subcontractors
• Employees vs Subcontractors
• Insurance for Contractors and Subcontractors

You have a great business, and you're ready to make it even better by hiring some subcontractors. But before you do, there are some things to consider—things that could save your business a lot of heartache and money down the road.
