I've shared this a lot recently, sorry for doing it again, but usually the feedback we get is extremely positive: We've turned our internal wiki with processes and experiences from running a fully remote company for over 8 years in a nice digestible PDF: https://mobilejazz.com/company-handbook-pdf/ https://mobilejazz.com/company-handbook-pdf/

For some reason, the design of the page made me sure that it was some sort of lead generation site. I was really surprised when I didn't have to put in my email to read the book.

  While it wasn't the initial reason to create the company handbook, there are for sure marketing intentions behind the site and the handbook as well. Otherwise it wouldn't justify the effort of turning our internal wiki into a well designed PDF. But I believe giving it away for free and having people talking about it positively is already great for our brand. Actually by now I know this already for a fact, as many people have reached out to us because of this.

Thanks a lot for this reading its a lot of insight since il currently preparing to launch my own remote company and my vision of it align a lot with yours. Do you have any resources or tips for how to handle the financial and paperworks of having people from different countries ? Thats the thing im having the more trouble finding info about

  Unfortunately that is a very difficult question to answer as it is very specific to your company's tax and legal residency and those of every single team member. In our case we offer proper employment where we have a legal entity and thus actually can employ team members. For people with tax residency in other countries the only somewhat non-bureaucratic and sustainable solution is for them to go self-employed and have a "consulting contract" with us. That said, regardless of the legal technicalities, we treat everyone the same.
