Anysize is a shared-cost "umbrella" business for contract employees in Australia.

Anysize takes the paperwork grunt-work out of providing contract professional services in Information Technology & Services, Engineering, Drafting, or any other hourly or project oriented service delivery. That frees you to do what you do best. Why fill in government and banking forms with time that you would rather work for clients?

Members operate independently but may also work with others to bid and work on larger projects.  Many of our members find working on joint projects a worthwhile option but there is no expectation that members will participate in joint projects unless they are interested.

Anysize Services

Anysize services include:

• Invoicing, collections and corporate banking done on your behalf.
• Payroll or other re-imbursement to you via Electronic Funds Transfer or cheque (your choice).
• Standard business insurances: Workers Compensation, Public Liability, and where needed: Professional Indemnity and Income Protection.
• Compliance with Commonwealth and state legislation for contracting businesses, in particular this includes Commonwealth and state legislation on employment, taxation and corporations laws.
• Arrangements such as sub-contracting, specific superannuation requirements, novated leasing, fringe-benefits packaging can be organised — please discuss your requirements with the coordinator.
• Anysize is not an agency and does not have the infrastructure to find jobs for contractors, that is one reason why it costs less than using an agency.  However, members do occasionally advise the coordinator about opportunities which may be of interest to potential members - this information is passed on at no charge.
• In short, Anysize is a shared-cost operating infrastructure — the basic services listed above are charged at $2 per hour billed out or 4% of billing (usually whichever is lower but depending on rate, hours worked and billing frequency).

Essential policies

Anysize operates according the following policies:

• Encourages you to agree directly with your clients on your own client billing rates and terms, but will assist in these negotiations if you wish.
• Operates under a "transparent" basis that is, we disclose to members the rate paid by their client and exactly how all of that money is distributed in the form of payroll, superannuation, taxes, insurance, administrative overhead, etc.  The Anysize coordinator can provide worked examples.
• Places no restrictions on your departure - we do not use non-competition clauses.
• Places no restrictions on contracting directly or becoming employed by a client in the future or concurrently with Anysize membership.
• Makes no claims on your intellectual property, but will support your IP arrangements with your client(s).
