pIn this issue of Ask FreelanceSwitch, we look at starting a bigger business. Ask FreelanceSwitch is a regular column here that allows us to help beginners get a grip on freelancing. If you have a question about freelancing that you want answered, send an email to askfreelanceswitch@gmail.com.span id="more-19324"/span/p

blockquotepI am a bit fed up with 6 years of freelancing. Is it time to start a real business with a team of like-minded persons?/p/blockquote
pIt may very well be time for you to grow your business. It?s going to really depend on what parts of freelancing you?re fed up with. /p
pBuilding a business with other freelancers can be great ? that?s how many great agencies start out. But it does take more work than freelancing on your own can. There?s more project management to be done, along with plenty of administrative work. You had better believe that someone is going to find themselves doing the bookkeeping for the whole group and it?s going to be a lot more work than handling the details of one person?s work hours. /p
pIf you?re serious about teaming up for a bigger business, you have to sort out who is responsible for what immediately. The way you work together will certainly evolve, but you need ground rules in place to make it possible. /p
pIf you?re burnt out on the management side of freelancing and you just want to do creative work, teaming up probably isn?t going to be your best solution. This may be outright heresy, but going and getting a job is probably a better bet. It?s rare that you?ll find a partner who is happy to run things while you just focus on your creative work./p
pThere are plenty of benefits that go along with building a bigger business though. With a good team, you can take on big projects (with correspondingly larger fees). You can also focus on just the types of work you?re good at, handing off other parts of projects to your team members. And a lot of clients prefer to work with larger organizations than just a single freelancer. You can definitely do well, provided you?re willing to take on the responsibilities of working with a team./p
