For a long while, I theorized that most entrepeneur types who were complaining about government inefficiency were a bunch of entitled whiners; most were already starting from a place of privilege and were confusing mere necessary annoyances with true hardship.
Then there came an opportunity, and I started my own web design business. I learned something important.
I was right. It's really not that bad, and as many people have suggested, this red tape was put into place for reasons. I admit it's frequently annoying, but in no way is it a meaningful barrier to someone who has a dream and really wants to work for it.
- prawn 4y agoWhat red tape exists for a web design business? At the most basic level, you can just work and charge. Maybe register a basic business name for $80 or whatever. If more successful, register a company and handle taxes a bit differently. Is it different where you live?
