  • Freedom of hours
  • Freedom of choosing your own client
  • The feeling of ownership you get once you become independent

The shift to remote and independent work has been re-shaping organizational structures and operations. Companies have had to change their point of view on the matter and are nowadays open to independent and remote workers. As a matter of fact, some companies now “force” employees to take one remote day a week.

As the title of this blog implies, we’re here to tell you why agencies and startups are a perfect match for independent professionals. There are two main factors that will back our arguments: scalability & cost.
