Laws vary by jurisdiction. I recently learned about how it works in Saskatchewan, Canada: indie contractor guards pretty much don’t fit into our legislation. A company offering guard services must be licensed and bonded, and the guards themselves must be licensed. A guards license requires the applicant to pass a one-time exam, and their license is tied to a specific employer. If you’rea guards and want to change your employer, you have to reapply for a new license. You could set up your own Corp and offer guards services, and in that case it would be pretty clear that you’re a contractor (you’ve put up your own bond and registered your company with the province), but otherwise there’s not really any way to have a solo contractor guard.
