How it works

What sits behind every plan

Five things that don't change whichever option you choose.

  1. 01Individual CEST assessment

    Every engagement is run through a CEST assessment based on the actual work, not a blanket determination. You get a copy, and so does the engager. It's logged, dated, and forms part of your audit trail.

  2. 02Engager-of-record structure

    Care Syndicate AI sits as engager of record between you and the care provider. You stay genuinely self-employed under the relationship; we handle the contracts, the compliance paperwork, and the right-to-substitute documentation HMRC expects to see.

  3. 03Same-day payments

    Cleared funds on payment-run day, with no long waits.

  4. 04Permanent audit trail

    Every CEST result, self-bill statement, signed engagement and submission kept together, time-stamped and exportable. If HMRC ask, you have the file ready.

  5. 05Plan flexibility

    Move between plans as your circumstances change, with 30 days' written notice and no penalties — the same wording that's in your engagement (W-01) terms.
