Going Solo: A Blueprint for Working for Yourself
summary
Practical blueprint for going solo: set a simple business plan, have two months in the bank and budget roughly $12,000 startup with ~$500/month for services; incorporate, get a CPA (saves ~£/US$15–20k/year in examples), a lawyer (~$100/hr) and a business bank account, run books in QuickBooks or FreeAgent, prefer project-based billing, use private GitHub repos and tools like Basecamp/Trello for client transparency, price on services not just hourly, and build assets/brand you can later sell.
