Ask HN: Any Bay Area Contracting Co-Ops or Job Shops?
Is anyone aware of good shell companies or worker cooperatives to satisfy purchasing controls at large companies? Specifically, the problem I am encountering is companies who require multiple revenue streams for consultants to avoid worker misclassification liability.
I am looking for a group that operates on a eat what you kill basis with low overhead. Ideally consulting fees are simply passed through to a sole proprietorship.
Does this exist? Any recommendations?
- ensemblehq 2y agoIf I understand correctly, you're looking to consult with a large company since your corporation has limited history, you need a corporation with a more extensive history to subcontract to yourself in order to do the work? Have you had a look at fractional firms? I have a hunch that they'd be willing to do it.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoThe main stumbling block is the ratio of annual recurring revenue coming from a single contract. I have my own company, leads, and connections. I had not looked into fractional firms, but am now.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoPS. Do you have any you think would be the right scale/style for this type of relation. Im guessing most would want a cut of the pie for putting their brand at risk.
- ensemblehq 2y agoIndeed there will be some premium to pay but it depends. I've done work under some consulting firms before but specifically for Canada, I know of Procom that does exactly what you're describing with less cut than the consulting firms. Pretty sure there would be a similar entity in the US since it's fairly common business practice.
