How to Become a Financially Savvy Freelancer is an ongoing series of free workshops for live entertainment freelancers supported by Backup Tech delivered by The BACK LOUNGE and UK Live Event Freelancers Forum.

The ‘How to Become a Financially Savvy Freelancer’ series aims to provide practical advice balanced with an exploration of the culture shift needed to plan effectively for long term security and will include a Q&A at the end of each session. The series topics includes paying tax in the most effective way for your circumstance, to efficient saving and having a war-chest for those dry spells, to which overdue bill to prioritise when things are really tight. The sessions are for anyone working in UK in live events, music touring, theatre and broadcast.
