Do you find yourself struggling with the legal aspects of your photography business? I’m sharing some legal things that you NEED in your business. Some are not-so-typical recommendations that you probably don’t typically hear, but after running my own photography business for almost 4 years now, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned. It’s so much better to do this now so you can save yourself a huge headache in the future.
Now, before we get started, I want to share that I’m a photographer, not a lawyer or an accountant. Please do your own research before blindly listening to anyone’s advice, even mine, especially when I’m just a photographer just like you.
It’s my hope that this episode takes some stress out of the legal side of your business. Whether you are new or established, I know it can be helpful just to hear how other people do things, but I hope this is a breath of fresh air where you can feel just a little bit more confident in your business.
In this episode, we cover:
Getting contracts in place from the moment you open the doors of your business
How to get business insurance and gear coverage
Registering your business with your state, city, and county
Opening up a business bank account and getting a business credit card, as well as my bank recommendation
My favorite bookkeeping software
