Hello, fellow webmasters. I'm Yomi by name, a 21 year old webmaster. I met with a guy recently who wishes to partner with me but he told me it would be better if i operate as a registered company rather than operating as a freelancer. At this point, i am confused because i am currently studying at the university level, and to me, operating as a company will require me getting few staff, devoting more time to the business, and some other things. Thinking over this, I am looking at it that it might affect my academic career. This is why i really need you guys' advice. Please advise me...Which is better? Operating as a company or as a freelancer?
Thanks...Responses pls

what is ur personal website runing on. Is it static mode or a combinatn of dynamic website..am building mine n i jst nid sum help

1. register a LTD or Business Name
2. open a corporate bank account
3. print letterhead and business cards

you dont have to run/man an office for now. you can arrange to share one with someone, and have your correspondence forwarded, or your calls answered.

4. face your studies, and do online/referral marketing

when the time comes and you have to submit bids/proposals, the letterhead will come in useful.

when its time to discuss payment, the corporate account will set you apart

5. by the time you graduate. you'll be heading a 5yr old company, with 5 years (audited?) corporate account and not a 1yr old one ... very useful when bidding for some contracts

Well, if you know how to use javascript, you can get it done. but if your webserver can allow you run your website to run on php, you can create a form using php. But i can help you if its just a contact us form you need.

k i wil chk it out.thks alot

All this big companies started small like microsoft,dell etc,but with the driving force of the founder they establish a name for themself most started their business right in their bedroom.and i don't see reason why you can't do it,with discipline and determination and put God first the rest will become history.To your success!
