How to become a financially savvy Freelancer

Backup Tech, The BACK LOUNGE and UK Live Event Freelancers Forum, launch How to Become a Financially Savvy Freelancer, a series of free workshops for live entertainment freelancers

The 'How to Become a Financially Savvy Freelancer' series aims to provide practical advice balanced with an exploration of the culture shift needed to plan effectively for long term security and will include a Q&A at the end of each session. They will cover topics including paying tax in the most effective way for your circumstance, to efficient saving and having a war-chest for those dry spells, to which overdue bill to prioritise when things are really tight. The sessions are for anyone working in UK in live events, music touring, theatre and broadcast.

Each session will be recorded and edited down into a 1-hour 'highlights' resource for wider sharing afterwards.
