Who Made This?
I’m Oliver Marriott — a contractor with 8 years experience in offshore wind, working on major international projects.
Over the course of my career, I’ve operated within the contracting model directly — understanding how income is structured, how businesses are set up, and how contractors manage cashflow, tax, and long-term financial planning.
Contracting operates under a different set of rules than employment.
The Contractor Starter Pack was created to make those structural differences clear — so you understand the model properly before making the transition.
It’s the introduction I wish I had when I first began.
