On the basis of a systematic analysis of legal norms establishing the mode of activity of self-employed individuals, taking into account the subjective criterion, contractual obligations with the participation of self-employed individuals who do not have the status of individual entrepreneurs are investigated: with consumer citizens, business entities, certain types of legal entities (in public and corporate procurement). It is shown that the status of self-employed individuals is ambiguous, in connection with which there are risks for contractors of self-employed individuals and difficulties in implementing liability measures.
