James Adams Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 This may have been asked many times, but here is my turn. I have 3 communities going. The latest is going to be a demo site/real site for corporations to use. I currently work for a major trucking corporation and want to sell them on Invision. I am not sure which way to approach them. So here is my ask: Should I "contract" with them under my current LLC company? Then at what Rate Per Year? Should I be an "employee" with them and negotiate a salary? Then at what Rate per Year? Any other suggestions/questions on how to sell my skills in designing and administrating a community will be welcome. Thanks in advance, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are probably questions better answered with legal and tax professionals in your area of the world, and considering what your short- and long-term goals are. There are lots of things to weigh here. James Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
