I gave this advice to in-to-deep a month or so ago,so I'll repeat it to you. My son needed a job here in mid Michigan in a county where unemployment has been running 12-15% for 4-5 years now. He went to the County Clerks office and got a DBA. That's an alias or Doing Business As. Then he went to State Farm where he had his auto insurance and got a liability policy. He's been busier than a one armed paper hanger. He works for a general contractor most of the time. Then for an insulation contractor when he's not busy there. He's done some work for a guy who makes and installs awnings. I told him when he started this he should at least get a CDL B so he could drive dump truck or something if he needed to,but he hasn't needed it.

ITD asked how he got his name out there. He just called a contractor and asked if he had any grunt jobs or anything that he could do. Once he started showing up on jobsites,other subcontractors saw how hard he worked,how he interacted with the rest of the guys on break,all that and he usually works seven days a week. He's even been doing some work on his own lately,setting concrete forms and such.

With that DBA and liability insurance,he can work for anyboby for as much or as little time as they need him. They don't have to put him on payroll and withhold anything. He's responsible for his own taxes. He just gives them a bill,they pay him in full and they have the bill for a 100% writeoff. I'd take a look at something like that if I were you. If you ever wanted to be in business for yourself,that's the way to get started.
