I believe I need w-8 BEN signed by them, a contract specifically noting so that they are considered as contractors (as opposed to w2 employee), no need for 1099 or 1042s, but wanted to see if there are other things

I would get with your local US Commercial Services contact to make sure you avoid common pitfalls. Let me know if you need a link!

Good luck!

Anyone here ever been scared by some major differences in materialism with your partner? I’ve been considered “boujee” by some friends but my girlfriend of just over a year is on a whole other level.

I come from a very middle class upbringing, and so does she, although she’s influenced by friends dating professional athletes and stuff
