I'm just tossing a thought out here...but it sounds like the legal and logistical issues of forming a virtual company would be a nightmare. So, why not form a co-op. Build a centralized branding and location for customers to find one of the co-ops fine contractors. Each contractor subscribes to a certain set of business rules set forth by the co-op and a such is autorized to do business under the group's branding. Behind the scenes, the co-op members, contractors, however you want to put it can "hire" each other at a set rate agreed to by the group. This will give you the power of many under a single umbrella, plus you can share your work load with others. It will also allow folks to take on larger projects than usual. It will let the individual contractors keep there own business separate from the larger entity for legal or whatever other reasons too. I have a larger vision in my head, but have to actually organize it a little better if people are interested in listening. I'll add some more to this post in a little bit. I need to run and take care of something urgent at the moment. Regards, The Boolean Operator aka Boo
This sounds good. I am a freelance developer and I can see the value of this quite clearly. I have lost projects because the technologies they wanted to use were not familiar to me. In this setup - I could still take the project and pass it to the co-op. What I have to offer today: * A dedicated server (NT, IIS, MySQL, Cold FUsion, PHP) http://www.bj-consulting.com * Cisco technical writing and classes * Novell technical writing and classes * MFC/C++ * Cold Fusion development * SQL Admin * Graphics tools - 3D-Studio Max 5, Poser 5, TrueSpace32, Photoshop 7, Macromedia Studio MX What needs to happen is for 1 person to own the marketing side of this. Keep me in the loop! tlnolley@bj-consulting.com
I'm going to live forever or die trying!
