| Some guidance / opinions on sourcing people and what to pay. Posted: 13 Jan 2022 05:16 AM PST Hi, A while ago I quit a job in industry and started a small business that, amongst other things, does software development. It's a GmbH in Germany (I think this is similar to an LLC or Ltd). Until recently it was very small - with just two or three projects on the go, team of four and it's been quite stable. Recently, we have seen an explosion of work - and for that I'm going to need to source help. This will be UI designers, devops, frontend and backend engineers. There's also the possibility of needing a ML engineer, although until now I've managed that myself. I can't afford to directly employ any more people, as it's not clear how long some of the projects will last, and hiring people in Germany, whilst a good thing, is also an expensive risk if you are a small business. I also wouldn't want to ask people to commit to employment without a certain future. So, I have been looking at freelance options, and here comes the issue. I would really like to use people from Germany, France, UK, Italy - in essence, local. I would want people to be able to work for a few months at least. When I look at rates, however, most of them are charging 700 - 1000 Eur per day. This equates to ca. 170000 - 240000 a year, which is a lot (to me at least). If I then look to East Europe, the rates are 150 - 300 a day, and if I go to India, they are 50 - 200 a day. Then there is the issue of work quality, but that is down to me sussing this out in interviews. - From the POV of a business owner, how do you approach this issue? - From the POV of a freelancer, say you are quoting a daily rate of 1000 Eur. If a company asked you to come onboard for a minimum of six months, is the price then negotiable? What is the ideal working scenario for you? I'm sorry this post is a bit of a ramble, and I hope it makes some sense. The other issue I have is how much to charge clients, but that is a whole other topic :) Thank you!! [link] [comments] |

| need help with my college project business name Posted: 13 Jan 2022 05:17 AM PST Hey everyone, ive got a collage project about starting your first business and i can't think of a name. The business i want to start is a small clothing business where I sell hoodies (at first) that have pictures/art on them and a saying/quote/whatever on one of the sleeves. I then also want to add a small card in the package of each order which I've decided to call 'cards of kindness' where there is something like something nice about a person or an inspirational quote from someone with the brand logo in the bottom. On the backside will be a text saying something along the lines of 'keep this card for yourself if you need it, or gift it to a stranger when the time comes' to reach more people with the kindness, since the pandemic has been hard om most people's mental health. The two names i have currently are 1. Brainfog 2. Mindscape As you can see, i want something that represents the mind/brain/etc. Here are some keywords about the art i want to make to put on the hoodies: Mind, infinity, illusions, space, astronomy, Salvador Dali, Escher, dimensions. Hope someone can help, since I may want to extend the project to something real beyond just this college project. [link] [comments] |
| Any value in a door sign that basically says “If you catch covid inside, it’s not our fault.” Posted: 13 Jan 2022 04:46 AM PST In Georgia the businesses all have this sign on their doors: "Under Georgia law, there is no liability for an injury or death of an individual entering these premises if such injury or death results from the inherent risks of contracting COVID-19. You are assuming this risk by entering these premises." I've been searching for a similar notice for other states (eg, AZ) (we hold events in multiple locations), but it's been a difficult search. Do you think I can just replace the "under Georgia law" bit with "[Company Name] is not liable for any…"? Or can someone tell me how I might find "official" notices like this for other states? (I realize not all states have such a law, but I'm finding it difficult to wade through different states' legislation.) I imagine there is no real legal protection by posting such a sign where an actual law does not exist, but I can't help thinking the sign can't hurt. It feels like I need to remind people that stepping through the door is risky, you know it's risky, and you're choosing to do it anyway. Any thoughts? I get that it's covid theater I'm asking for, but it just seems like a good idea. Thanks! TL;DR: having an event and looking for Covid release of liability door signs. [link] [comments] |
| What are the legal consequences of naming a company or product after a famous dead person? Posted: 13 Jan 2022 03:29 AM PST I'm thinking about naming my new company after a dead person. Should I not use it? For example, if I name my coffee brand after people like Buddha, Shakespeare or DaVinci, will there be any legal issues? Elon Musk named his car company after Tesla and I feel like if it is not full name, that'd be fine. But if it includes full name, like Nicola Tesla motors, that's when it gets tricky. Does anyone know about this?? [link] [comments] |
