3 steps to create a team and find work
Step 1 - Create a team
The team leader sets up a team and completes the team's profile. Colleagues or existing prolancers are invited to join the team. If required, when colleagues join Prolancer they are able to indicate they are part of a team and not open for other Prolancer projects.
Step 2 - Submit proposals
When suitable projects are published, team leaders will be notified so a proposal can be submitted. Proposals will be reviewed by our relationship managers and a shortlist will be sent to the hirer.
Step 3 - Start work
If your team's proposal is selected you can start work immediately. Prolancer's unique, collaborative workstream allows you to easily communicate, share and track your projects. Depending on your agreement with the hirer, you can raise invoices for each completed milestone or wait until you complete the entire project.
Payments and contracts are protected on Prolancer. We use a secure escrow system for payments. Visit our help centre for more information regarding payment protection.

You will receive access to Prolancer's built-in project & budget management tools to streamline productivity, accelerate teamwork and manage overall budget, time and resources.
We strongly encourage all projects carried out on Prolancer to use our unique set of collaboration / project management tools. This ensures both hirer and prolancer understand responsibilities and timescales, activities are logged and projects are kept within scope.

As part of creating a project team, the team lead will agree the % of the project fee different members of the team will receive.

In the case of a team containing employees, the % of the payment will be made to the business and team members will be made using PAYE as usual.
