CoComply is a technology platform designed to help organisations identify, govern, and manage external workforce risk.
Our platform, tools, and customer support are built on deep industry experience and practical application of employment status and other workforce compliance frameworks. However, it's important to be clear about the role we play — and the role we do not.
What CoComply Does
CoComply provides:
- A technology platform to identify and govern external workers and services
- Structured assessments, workflows, policies and audit trails
- Classification outcomes based on documented inputs and established frameworks
- Practical guidance informed by real-world experience across multiple organisations
- Clear visibility, consistency, and defensibility of decision-making
This enables organisations to make informed, well-documented decisions and maintain an auditable system of record.
What CoComply Does Not Do
Unless expressly agreed in writing, CoComply does not provide:
- Formal legal advice
- Formal tax advice
- Accounting or regulated professional services
Any information, guidance, or views shared by CoComply — whether via the platform, documentation, or customer success team — are provided on an informational and guidance basis only.
While our team has extensive experience in this domain, our services should not be treated as a substitute for advice from a qualified legal or tax professional.
How Organisations Typically Use CoComply
Most clients use CoComply to:
- Establish a consistent, defensible approach to workforce classification
- Create a robust audit trail and system of record
- Improve visibility and internal governance across HR, procurement, tax, and finance
- Reduce operational risk and manual effort
For many organisations, this level of governance and documentation is sufficient.
For others — particularly those under heightened regulatory scrutiny or operating at significant and complex scale — CoComply is used alongside independent legal or tax advisers.
Independent Advice and Partner Support
Where clients require formal legal or tax advice, additional assurance, or specialist support, CoComply can introduce trusted third-party partners, including:
- Employment tax specialists
- Legal advisers
- Accountancy and advisory firms
- Insurance and indemnity providers (where appropriate)
These partners operate independently of CoComply and can contract directly with clients.
Why This Approach Matters
This clarity allows us to:
- Remain focused on being a technology-led platform
- Provide practical, experience-based guidance without ambiguity
- Support EIS-qualifying investment and innovation within the CoComply technical environment
- Give clients flexibility to choose the level of external assurance appropriate to their risk profile
Our role is to make compliance clearer, more consistent, and more manageable — not to replace professional advisers.
Final Note
If you are unsure whether your organisation requires independent legal or tax advice in addition to using CoComply, we encourage you to seek that advice directly or speak with one of our recommended partners.
