Tips:

Revisit your contracts every year to make sure they're up-to-date.

Insurance: Most policies are for general liability and start at $50ish/mo. You’ll likely want to add professional liability. Get a referral to find someone who knows your industry.

Consider sub-contractor agreements if you don't have one and update them if you do have one.

Benefits of a trademark: logo, phrases, etc. Can cost $1000-$2000 with an attorney. Be careful hiring an online company to do a trademark because they often don’t do due diligence and they rely on you to give them all the information. An attorney will charge you more to fix the application rather than starting with them to start with.

Copyrighting your work and your website is important!
