Contracting With Zero Cash
Deciding to start your own business isn’t a decision to be taken lightly or one that you decide upon like adding items to a grocery list (hopefully!). So it stands to reason that if you are ready to move forward with a business venture you’ve given a great deal of thought to the specific risks and benefits of ownership.
