No. Techwhere takes nothing from your jobs, your invoices or your rate. You pay once for the directory and everything you earn afterwards is yours. We are not between you and the company at any point.

No. Techwhere is a directory, not an agency and not a marketplace. We tell you which companies hand out contract IT field work, how to reach them and what they expect. You apply, you onboard, you do the work. Nobody assigns tickets to you through us.

No. It is a single payment for the Work Directory. There is nothing to renew, nothing that expires and no account to keep active.

Most dispatch companies require general liability insurance and a certificate of insurance naming them as certificate holder. Requirements and limits vary by company and client, so confirm with each one. See the requirements checklist and how to get insured for what is usually asked and how to get it in place.

Both are common. Some companies will onboard a sole proprietor using a W-9 with your SSN or EIN; others prefer or require a registered business entity. An LLC with an EIN keeps business and personal finances separate and removes one possible objection. This is a business and tax decision, so take advice before forming an entity.

More than you think. Techs who stay consistently busy are usually onboarded with roughly ten to twenty companies , because dispatch volume from any one of them is unpredictable. Onboarding is a one-off cost of a few hours each — see how to get steady IT field work.

It is useful if you have, or are prepared to get, the basics: tools, a reliable vehicle, a smartphone and the paperwork companies ask for.

The workbook says when it was last compiled, currently October 2026, on its Read Me sheet, and the file you download is named with the date you downloaded it. Every company row carries a Source URL, the page the details came from, and a Confidence rating: High when the details come from the company’s official page, Medium when some are missing or may be out of date, Low when only partly verified. Companies change their hiring pages often, so open the Source URL to re-check before you apply.

One Excel workbook (.xlsx) with eight tabs: Start Here (18 companies with simple online applications), Companies, By Skill, By State, Application Tracker, Requirements Summary, Get Vendor-Ready and Read Me.
