Why Freelance? The Advantages of W-2 versus 1099 The term "freelance" comes from the works of Sir Walter Scott and refers to traveling knights offering their services in battle to noblemen for a fee. This colorful designation is now used for independent contractors who offer their services to companies but are not officially employed by them. The freelancer is free to work in whatever manner they would like in order to accomplish the task given to them. When Do You Have to Incorporate and What is Involved? Incorporation is one of any number of ways to structure a business. These include a limited liability company, an S-corporation and a C-corporation. Each structure has benefits and drawbacks, and it is important to decide which type of corporation works best for your situation, or if it makes sense to consider other options like operating without a corporation or working through an umbrella company. Tips to Keep Your Home Business Organized If you have a home business, getting yourself organized should be a priority. Lack of planning and organization reduces productivity, increases stress, and strains working and personal relationships. Precious work time can be lost while searching for things you have misplaced and need. The Baby Boomer Brain Drain, Hiring Back Retired Workers Safely With 77 million baby boomers reaching retirement, and half of the middle to upper management in this country reaching retirement age in the next five years, our country is soon to lose many of its most experienced workers. Self-Incorporation: Is it Right For Me? Many businesses can benefit from incorporation. The main benefit of incorporation for most businesses is that it shields the business owner from lawsuits and protects their assets in the event that the company is the target of a lawsuit. Because the company is established as a separate entity from the partners, the assets of the partners are not affected by a judgment against the company. While the risk of a lawsuit may seem remote, it is actually a major concern for small businesses. Important Tax Information for Independent Contractors Being your own boss is certainly rewarding, but few people think about the extra work of preparing invoices and tax forms. Independent contractors need to be aware that being independent of the client company is a special tax situation, and they will need to file differently with Internal Revenue Service than they might have in the past. How an Independent Consultant can get Business Insurance One challenge with freelancing and independent consultant work that you may not have considered is securing business insurance. Business insurance will protect you and your business against unfortunate mistakes and mishaps. There are a number of different types of insurance coverage that you should carry as an independent consultant or independent contractor, each of them designed to protect you from a different type of happenstance or error. Health Benefit Options for Freelancers and Independent Consultants Freelance workers, independent consultants and independent contractors enjoy many advantages. Their schedules are flexible, they set their own agenda, and with a little planning, they can take extended time off. Contractor Reclassification Risk- Are You Misclassifying Your Workers? The process of misclassifying workers, or treating workers as independent contractors when they should be considered employees, is a serious problem. The situation is a particular problem in the IT field and other "white collar" professions. Contractor compliance is coming under increased scrutiny from the IRS as well as many states. Advantages of W-2 Employment There are some reasons an individual would choose self-employment over working for someone else, but not everyone is willing to take on the problems and stress of owning a business. For some, the notion of running every aspect of a company is more than overwhelming. Those who are employed by a company have many advantages over those who are self-employed. Many of these benefits involve salary and taxes.
