Contractor Governance Infrastructure
The records exist. The approvals are signed. The files are filed.
What breaks is something quieter.
For CFOs and Founders scaling international contractor teams.
The Problem
Can you demonstrate that your status assessments were reviewed — not just completed — at each engagement renewal?
If HMRC requested the approval trail for a specific contractor decision made 18 months ago, could you produce it within 48 hours?
Do your outside IR35 determinations link to the specific contractual and working practice evidence that supported them?
If a senior reviewer left the business tomorrow, would the rationale for every classification decision still be recoverable?
Continuity is the one thing that cannot be rebuilt later.
Every other element of a contractor record can be reconstructed, re-signed, re-filed. Time is the variable that doesn't work that way. A record that does not exist today cannot be inserted into yesterday. The gap, once present, is permanent.
Activation Model
We implement a governance record layer for your contractor base. Two steps.
We build your ledger spine and configure it to your contractor base. Delivered in 14 days. Covers up to 50 contractors, including cross-border engagements.
We maintain the record as engagements evolve. Each month closes with a Continuity Certificate confirming continuity.
Every determination is linked to the reviewer, the date, and the evidence considered.
Each Continuity Certificate is cryptographically sealed. The record was never backdated. That is provable.
Every record is self-contained under examination. Nothing requires reconstruction.
The record accumulates. Gaps are flagged before they become liabilities.
Each month closes with a sealed Continuity Certificate. It cannot be altered after issue. Its integrity is provable at any point.
April 2026 Regulatory Context
Three pressures are increasing the cost of record gaps in 2026.
HMRC compliance checks have expanded beyond the PSC level to scrutinise end-client processes and the quality of status determination records.
The off-payroll rules place the compliance burden on the engaging organisation. Inadequate records shift liability to the client, not the contractor.
Acquirers and investors are now treating contractor record quality as a material diligence item. Gaps discovered post-transaction create indemnity exposure.
Pricing
The cost of installation is fixed. The cost of missing continuity is not.
We onboard a limited number of installations per quarter to preserve record integrity.
