I think it means that contracting can't be a part of a company core business model - as is in the case for uber, lyft, or cleaning services.

Examples of a contractor here would be: hiring a third-party graphic designer for a few months while you ramp up hiring at a startup.

The law says AND. You need to comply with all three conditions.

So, you would also need to be sure that they were:

>free from control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work

And:

>person is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation or business
