Between renewals, state fees, and filings, it feels like the paperwork is running his business instead of the other way around. Preston sits down with international tax lawyer Bobby Casey to make the case for sticking with it, and for finally outsourcing the parts that are draining his time and energy. They cover the liability protection most freelancers underestimate, the privacy risks of registering an entity yourself, and the cheap, automated tools that can take renewals, bookkeeping, and compliance completely off a founder's plate.
