neutral  Daryo: this form says Samostalne djelatnosti = Independent activities (although "independent profession" would sound better) // "free occupation" would associate to something else, mostly with occupying a property for free

professional / liberal profession


Explanation:
an architect is a "professional", someone in a "liberal profession"


Profession

A profession is a vocation founded upon specialized educational training, the purpose of which is to supply objective counsel and service to others, for a direct and definite compensation, wholly apart from expectation of other business gain.

The term is a truncation of the term "liberal profession", which is, in turn, an anglicisation of the French term "profession libérale". Originally borrowed by English users in the nineteenth century, it has been re-borrowed by international users from the late twentieth, though the (upper-middle) class overtones of the term do not seem to survive retranslation:

“liberal professions” are, according to the Directive on Recognition of Professional Qualifications (2005/36/EC)

“those practised on the basis of relevant professional qualifications in a personal, responsible and professionally independent capacity by those providing intellectual and conceptual services in the interest of the client and the public”.

Independent Profession


Explanation:
Independent Professionals (IPros) u Velikoj Britaniji koriste za freelancere. U HRV pojam koji obuhvaća freelancere, nezavisne profesionalce, odnosno slobodna zanimanja. Vidjeti stranicu HDNP-a dolje. Slažem se da taj pojam obuhvaća samostalne djelatnosti odnosno slobodna zanimanja.
