But things are starting to recalibrate now, and in a recent Cool Company survey, 65% of UK contractors who responded said that they\u2019ve started to look for more work from EU clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, we\u2019ll explore some of the specific issues you need to consider when working with EU companies, as well as highlighting some of the pros and cons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-coolcompany-section has-red-10-background-color has-background\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-style-columns2 is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-style-larger-col is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>How can UK contractors navigate working with EU companies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting work with a client from an EU country, examine the contract carefully and check for any differences from what you\u2019re used to when working in the UK, particularly in terms of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Notice periods<\/li><li>Performance standards<\/li><li>Holiday entitlement (and bank holidays)<\/li><li>Pensions<\/li><li>Governing law<\/li><li>Treatment of employees<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The specifics of these will vary across different EU countries, and it\u2019s important to understand the regulations, benefits and working culture of the country you\u2019re contracting in so that you have a realistic idea of what you\u2019re signing up to. The more informed you are, the better prepared you\u2019ll be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-style-smaller-col is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-coolcompany-maskedimage blob_mask_5\"><div class=\"gradient-background\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(45deg, #7142E9 0%, #53A2E9 100%)\"><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-960907384-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-960907384-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-960907384-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-960907384-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-960907384-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-960907384-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-960907384-1080x1620.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-960907384-1280x1920.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-960907384-980x1470.jpg 980w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-960907384-480x720.jpg 480w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-960907384.jpg 1414w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption>USA, Texas, Austin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coolcompany-separator is-style-default has-red-10-background-color has-background\"><svg width=\"100%\" viewbox=\"0 0 1600 60\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill=\"#ffffff\" d=\"M0 0L29.6667 1.75612C59.5 3.36587 118.833 6.87807 178 12C237.167 17.122 296.167 23.8537 355.333 22.6829C414.5 21.5122 473.833 12.1464 533.333 9.07319C592.833 5.85368 652.167 8.78051 711.333 11.2683C770.5 13.6098 829.5 15.6585 888.667 18.7317C947.833 21.9512 1007.17 26.3415 1066.67 27.8049C1126.17 29.2683 1185.5 27.8049 1244.67 23.7073C1303.83 19.4634 1362.83 12.7317 1422 8.34148C1481.17 3.95124 1540.5 1.90246 1570.33 1.02441L1600 0V60H1570.33C1540.5 60 1481.17 60 1422 60C1362.83 60 1303.83 60 1244.67 60C1185.5 60 1126.17 60 1066.67 60C1007.17 60 947.833 60 888.667 60C829.5 60 770.5 60 711.333 60C652.167 60 592.833 60 533.333 60C473.833 60 414.5 60 355.333 60C296.167 60 237.167 60 178 60C118.833 60 59.5 60 29.6667 60H0V0Z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-coolcompany-section\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Th<\/strong>e pros of working with EU clients<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-style-columns2 is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>It opens up more opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most obvious benefit to working with EU clients is that it opens up a much wider range of opportunities than if you just stick to the UK. A greater choice of companies to work with gives you the potential to concentrate on certain skills, explore aspects of your field that really interest you, and develop your career in a specific direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I<strong>t gives you valuable experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working for companies in other countries will take you out of your comfort zone and broaden your experience, giving you the edge over others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It can lead to better benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many EU companies are very generous in the ways that they reward employees and contractors, in terms incentives such as discounts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>It can be more flexible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that remote working has become so well established, it\u2019s easier than ever to take on contracting work in different countries. Everything is more flexible and negotiable these days, so you might find that working with an EU client means less travel than it did before, and more freedom to work the hours that suit you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It can help you avoid issues with IR35 legislation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as your EU client has absolutely no links to the UK, then it will be your responsibility to determine your IR35 status, and not theirs. It\u2019s worth noting that several EU countries have their own type of similar legislation, so if you\u2019re based there then you\u2019ll need to look into that, but it wouldn\u2019t apply to remote workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-coolcompany-section\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-style-columns1 is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-coolcompany-maskedimage blob_mask_3\"><div class=\"gradient-background\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(45deg, #7142E9 0%, #53A2E9 100%)\"><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/iStock-1144571711-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/iStock-1144571711-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/iStock-1144571711-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/iStock-1144571711-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/iStock-1144571711-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/iStock-1144571711-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/iStock-1144571711-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/iStock-1144571711-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/iStock-1144571711-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/coolcompany.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/iStock-1144571711-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Series of photos shot in a little studio\/workplace, where an Japanse artist and electrician\/engineer creates electronic music with the self made electronic equipment and synthesizers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The cons of working with EU clients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main disadvantage of working with EU clients is that you need to adjust to certain differences in the way that things are done.

Things like language barriers and different work cultures might be harder to deal with if you\u2019re working as part of a remote team. Other countries\u2019 legislation and regulations can be tricky to pinpoint and understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-coolcompany-section has-red-10-background-color has-background\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-style-columns1 is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">How Cool Company can help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Contracting through an umbrella company can really help with addressing some of these cons, particularly in relation to taxation and other financial admin.
