The Global Business Partner for Freelancers
Business Consulting for Freelancers
As a freelancer, you have the opportunity and freedom to contribute to a range of projects. No matter what your professional field is, you get to shape your day-to-day functions and overall career arc in a way that’s right for you. Yet, success requires strategy development, administration, and other elements that can distract from your core freelancing activities.
Business Formation
Starting a freelance business may seem simple, but formation can be subject to complex procedures. Different jurisdictions have specific requirements for operating as a freelancer. Not to mention that choosing between registering as a sole proprietor or an LLC can affect everything from liabilities to tax breaks. Ascot’s global network of business professionals will guide you through the process and ensure you make the most prudent decisions.
Business Consulting
Pursuing a career as a successful freelancer requires just as much business acumen as any other enterprise. Ascot’s business consultants will help you to identify the challenges of your particular field — from maximizing productivity to managing negotiations. From here, we’ll develop custom strategies to achieve your goals.
Legal and Compliance Consulting
There are some complex legal and compliance aspects to freelancing. There can be liability risks and disputes may arise between you and your clients. Ascot’s global network of legal and compliance professionals will assist with all your needs, guiding you in mitigating liabilities and navigating challenges.
Tax Consultant for Freelancers
Managing taxes while freelancing can be complex. You might juggle multiple clients in different jurisdictions and may be subject to various collection obligations. There are also various tax deductions freelancers can make depending on their location, operating model, and industry. Ascot’s tax consultants will help you develop a tax strategy that keeps you compliant while maximizing profit.
Branding & Digital Marketing for Freelancers

It’s vital to ensure that your website or portfolio is among the first to be seen on search engines by potential clients.

Content Writing
Effective content writing strategies are essential for your marketing and reputation. Ascot’s network of content writers will develop campaigns, crafting everything from persuasive sales copy to podcast scripts. We’ll ensure you have online content that informs clients, supports SEO goals, and positions you as a source of expertise.
Email Marketing for Freelancers
As a freelancer, you need to stay at the forefront of current and potential clients’ minds when they’re planning projects. Ascot’s network of email marketing professionals will help you develop campaigns to achieve this. From regular bespoke newsletters highlighting your value to prospecting communications, we’ll help you nurture both leads and relationships.
PR Marketing
There may be times in your freelancing journey that you’ll need PR campaigns — whether it’s to help land a high-profile contract or handle a reputational crisis. Ascot’s global network of PR marketing experts will strategize the right approach for your needs, alongside handling everything from securing media coverage to drafting press releases.
Social Media for Freelancers
An increasing number of businesses are active on social media, which makes it fertile ground to nurture your freelance client base. Ascot’s social media professionals will develop strategies fine-tuned to align with your brand, boost your visibility, and contribute to your growth goals.
UI/UX Design
It’s not enough to have a digital presence as a freelancer. Whether a portfolio, website, or client portal, your online materials also have to influence a positive user experience (UX). Ascot’s user interface (UI) and UX design experts will optimize everything from basic accessibility to visual hierarchy application, ensuring your visitors stay engaged.
Website Design and Development
No matter what your area of freelance expertise is, your website is a key hub where potential clients can learn about what you do and make contact with you. Ascot’s network of website design and development experts will craft sites that are aesthetically engaging, incorporate responsive design, and act as your ideal client gateway.
Talent Acquisition
As your freelance reputation grows, you may find there are times that the projects you’re offered or your business operations are too large for you to handle alone. Ascot gives you access to global recruiters who will help you find the right talent to meet your specific needs. We’ll handle everything from candidate screening to onboarding.
Financial Solutions for Freelancers
Freelancers need smart financial solutions just like any small business.
While not a bank, Ascot can connect you to a range of banking services — both domestic and offshore — to manage everything from day-to-day operational cash flow to securing loans for equipment.
Our financial experts also unlock effective payment processing solutions for freelancers. This includes automated invoicing tools with banking integration, multi-currency support when you’re dealing with international clients, and secure payment gateways.
Business Process Outsourcing for Freelancers
Successful freelancing involves far more than just independently providing your core area of expertise to clients. You also juggle various business processes, from financial administration to client management. Ascot’s business process outsourcing (BPO) services empower you to delegate these time-consuming tasks to experienced and trusted professionals. Whatever your specific needs are, wherever in the world you operate, we’ll connect you to the solutions that support a positive and impactful freelance business.
