Minimize the Risk of Using Freelancers

While freelance workers represent a convenient and cost-effective way to keep your business flexible, using them can incur serious risks for your studio. Without an experienced partner to help you navigate the legal details of using contingent workers, your studio could be setting itself up for substantial fines, IRS audits, or even class-action lawsuits.

Eliminate IRS 1099 Reclassification Risk

MBO Partners eliminates reclassification risk by offering a safe, compliant engagement model that still preserves the freelancer’s ability to operate like an independent business. MBO Partners also provides General Liability, Workers’ Compensation, and other required insurances, all of which
further reduce risk.

Save Time Administering Freelancers

Managing scores of individual contracts with VFX artists and animators can become an expensive and messy process. With MBO Partners, we handle the contracts administration, and all your
managers need to do is issue the work orders and approve the time or project.

What’s more, you can group your invoices any way you need to process them. Whether you need to have a single invoice for all of your freelancers or have them broken out by region or project, MBO Partners can deliver the paperwork you need. You can approve time sheets, milestones and expense using our online or email approval system as they work or after a project is done.
