I've been scouring the internet looking for some good information on setting up a business, but i'm struggling to find anything super helpful or applicable.
I know there are probably a several out there that have your own business license and could use some advice.
My background info:
Recent college grad, currently working at a regular job (standard pay, taxes deducted etc)
Starting to do a lot of freelance work that looks like it will continue for the rest of the year. I've been filing w-9 forms with several employers so it's not as if i'm getting paid under the table.
Since this freelance is on the side, I don't have a main office or anything of that nature.
What business license type did you use? LLC?
Any tips I should know starting out that will make things easier in the long run?
- Paperwork, Organization, claiming expenses (things I can use as a business expense).
- I've made several video purchases in the past year, is there a way to incorporate these expenses into the business (help offset personal income)?
Any good online resources you'd recommend reading?
I'll probably talk to an accountant soon just to get things setup correctly for my area, but I'd like an idea of certain things before I go in.
Thanks for any help.
