Thinking about starting a side gig? Before you jump in, there are crucial steps you need to take to protect yourself and your business.
First, scrutinize your employment contract and consult an attorney to ensure you're meeting all disclosure and permission requirements.
Understanding the legal structure of your side gig is vital, so seek advice from an attorney on forming the right legal entity.
Don't overlook taxes - a chat with a CPA can help you stay on top of quarterly tax payments and avoid surprises.
If you have intellectual property, protecting it is a must. Spending a few thousand dollars now on trademark protection can pay off big time if you decide to scale or sell your business.
