 * chambers of commerce (http://gwhcc.org and http://dcchamber.org/ )

 * ethnic economic development groups (http://ledcmetro.org)

Aaron,

 

I recommend setting up the LLC.  It's really worth the money and doesn't' cost much.  Also before spending money on a lawyer to help you with all this.  You should go check out Law schools in the area.  DC has plenty.  Students and faculty usually help you set that up for free and give you advice since they need the experience.  Just a suggestion.

You don't absolutely have to, but their are a ton of reasons to actually

register as an LLC to protect yourself from liability. If this is going

to be substantial work or your main source of income, it'll be worth the

relatively small investment. Unless you setup an actual corporation,

you'd report your business taxes along with your personal taxes.

 

Of course, IANAL and there are small, but important differences between

states/jurisdictions that you should really not proceed without actual

legal advice. Nor should you take this email as a subsitute for legal or

tax advice. I know a lawyer in Arlington that helped us when we were

getting musketeers.me setup that I can refer if you need one.

Hello,

 

I am a php/Wordpress developer, and I have always worked for companies. I have two opportunities to build some websites for two clients, and I have never done freelance work. Do I need to set myself up as a company? How do taxes/its work for this?

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron
