Has anyone created a legal business (llc/inc/etc) for side work? Is it necessary? Risks/costs/benefits? My first loyalty is 100% to my firm, but I've had several connections reach out to me for Salesforce work that's too small for my company that I could handle as a "side hustle" and I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach it from a legal/invoicing perspective. I don't expect a ton of work, maybe $10k/yr or so over a handful of clients

I've done it as a 1099 contractor (sole proprietor) - getting paid via Paypal (side gig). It's waaaayyyy more time consuming than you think.

A1 I'm going into this completely in the dark - what's time consuming? Forming a company? Invoicing in general? Time is precious (I'm full time consulting already with kids) so a few grand a year may not be worth it pending the overhead of the hustle...

Collecting the requirements from the client, checking understanding, doing the actual work (usually takes longer than you think), dealing with any data (importing, exporting, automation), documentation that you weren't planning on doing. You probably have some help at your current firm that you don't realize you leverage.

Finding the time to do the actual work on top of your current work will have you working weekends and evenings (I've done this with Salesforce and custom dev - non SF).

A few questions to ask yourself, do you need it for income tax? Is service for people or businesses - the latter may need a tax registration number for you to provide.

Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant.
