How to Master the Business Side of Editing (aka, Getting the Boring But Essential Paperwork Right)

Original Air Date: Thursday, May 20, 2021

Whether you're setting out to be a full-time freelancer — or just doing a few projects on the side — it's important to have your paperwork in order. Are you operating as a business entity? Do you need to? How should you keep track of expenses and income? Do you need to have a contract in place for every project?

This class will walk new freelancers through the process of getting set up to do business. We'll discuss:

* Setting up an EIN

* Deciding on a business structure (individual vs. sole proprietor vs. LLC vs. S Corp, etc.)

* Opening a business bank account

* Choosing accounting software

* Creating a simple contract

* Considering business insurance

Attendees will leave with a clear to-do list of the necessary tasks for setting up a small (or large!) editing business.

This session is especially helpful for: All editors can benefit from this webcast, but we think it’ll be especially helpful for editors who are interested in starting or refreshing their freelance business.
