So I have just gotten asked to do my first freelance consulting gig. I'll be setting up an Apache/Tomcat environment for a company, but that's beside the point. I figure that there are at least a few people on the list that have done private consulting before, and I'd like to ask for advice, as I'm pretty ignorant to the whole process. I know that they'll just cut me a check, and I'll have to declare that income on next year's tax return. Do I need to write up a contract beforehand? Is there any legalities that I need to be careful of? Should I get a partial payment before starting? etc., etc., etc. There's a thousand more questions I could ask, but I guess I'll start with these. Thanks in advance! -Erik Anderson _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
