3 steps to create a team and find work
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.
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.
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. *

Service fee charges will be deducted from the total amount that is transferred from a Project’s escrow account into a prolancer’s account. The service fee is charged at the following percentage scales of transaction value.
Service fee
| Transaction value | Service Fee |
|---|---|
| £0 to £600 | 9.99% |
| £600.01 and up | 9.99% for the first £600 + 6% for the remainder |
The above fees are exclusive of VAT and withdrawal fee.
Withdrawal fee
Prolancer’s payment processing fee is applicable upon withdrawal of the funds.
| Payment method | Sent to | Fee | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|

United Kingdom GBP (Local faster
payment transfer) Europe EUR (Local SEPA transfer) 35+ other major countries (Local bank transfer) All other countries (Swift bank wire) |
£1.00 £1.00 £3.50 £9.00 |
24-48 hrs |
| PayPal withdrawals | PayPal accounts | PayPal fees @ 2% | Instant |
We recommend that you withdraw your total money in
one payment to avoid multiple withdrawal fees.
Please note, Prolancer does not add any mark up to
the payment processing fees. All fees mentioned are
the chargeable fees from Banks and 3rd party payment
service providers such as PayPal.
As part of creating a project team, the team lead
will agree the % of the project fee different
members of the team will receive. Prolancer
allocates payments to team members accordingly. 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.
Prolancer supports payments made to and from more
than 220 destinations and more than 135 global
currencies. To find out more about the list of
