I’m thinking of the type of thing you wished you knew sooner. But if you have other advice, please share!

I’m a couple months (officially) into running a videography business and would love to use this post to share and help each other.

My Advice: I was into videography and doing it as a side hustle for almost a year but kept delaying registering myself as a business. If I could go back, I’d do that sooner.

Register your company and brand in some tax haven. Have a subsidiary “rent” the brand for the amount of income you make, so you have no tax to pay.

Do not do this. It is illegal. But starbucks and other companies do
