Running a Freelancing Business
Written by Cedric Solidon on June 23rd, 2009 at 11:22 PMWait, freelancing is a business? Yes, freelancing is pretty much a business because you have to market it and you have to deal with the pricing of your services and other stuff that other businesses do.
But to keep things simple, I’ll be focusing on the marketing, finding work, and pricing your services in this series.

Dear Cedric,
Hmmm, you’ve got something good going here! Kudos for the effort!
I’m writing you because, of the 17 years I’ve been working as a copywriter, over half that time has been as a freelancer, mainly because child-rearing is my priority.
So my question, Cedric: how do you handle the BIR side of things? I ask this because I set up our own graphic design studio years back, but closed it when I became physically unable to run it (high-risk pregnancy) and my hubby and I were hesitant to do it again because we also got badly harassed by some unscrupulous BIR folk.
I’ve been getting conflicting advice: 1. Set up a single prop; 2. No need for single prop, just declare income; 3. Avoid filing while my income is still highly erratic (I actually just resigned from a good 3-year job because of…haha…another high-risk pregnancy)…
I’d appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, best regards & God bless!
