Sole trader employing others?

[isahm]

I have a translation business and would like to take on some other translators who would work for my business on a freelance basis.

I hear that, as long as they are registered as self-employed, there is nothing I need to do, apart from claiming the amount I pay to them as my business expenses.

Could you, please confirm that is the case and maybe refer me to some related documentation?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Isabel
