Deductions & credits

No, they don't. Well, sort of.
If the business pays those expenses for a long-term contract as a self-employed person, that is not a deduction.
If they pay those expenses for an employee or Independent Contractor, that is wages (or payment for a contractor) to the employee or contractor. Because the business is paying the employee or contractor, that extra wages/payment is a deduction for the business. But because the employee or contractor is paying taxes on that amount, it effectively means that is not a business deduction.
