Going Independent: Fundamentals for Independent Consultants

Upcoming Courses

Course Description

Taking the steps toward becoming an independent Clinical Research Associate (CRA) or consultant can be daunting. Questions arise such as: How do I manage my business, how and where do I find contracts, what type of savings/retirement plan should I consider, do I need insurance, and who can I ask for help? This web seminar will address those questions as well as take you through the necessary steps to determine if becoming an independent contractor is right for you, or, if you are already an independent consultant, how you can manage your business more efficiently and with more stability. Some key business structures such as sole proprietorships, C-Corporations, S-Corporations, and LLCs, and the advantages/disadvantages of each, will also be addressed.

  • Describe the key criteria for being a successful independent consultant
  • Explain the types of business structures that should be considered and the pros/cons of each
  • Describe how to find contracts and maintain a steady workload
