In my home country, I have started a successful solo Air Conditioning cleaning business.
I have created a very unique and compelling sales pitch, and it has worked wonders so far. I no longer do any of the sales or the cleaning myself, I have hired people as independent contractors/freelancers to do everything. I have a couple of people that do door-to-door/face to face sales on commission; they get a fixed amount of money for every client they secure. And there are a couple of people who do the cleaning with their own tools and vehicles, so they are independent contractors to whom I outsource the work. Insert a lazy boss man stereotype here, but everyone is happy with the arrangement. The contractors determine their own work hours, and the clients are happy with the service.
In my country, this type of legal arrangement with the workers is possible, but I don't know if it's the case in the US and if i can copy this existing model? The reason I want to recreate the business in the US is quite obvious: people have more disposable income and consume more goods and services in general. I have a couple of legal questions.
Do I need to create a US based LLC to sign contracts, or can I hire people remotely?
Do I need to pay taxes in US if only act as an intermediary between two freelancers?
Technically, I'm not selling any product or service in the country, but the taxman might see things differently.
Under what legal forms should the workers/contractors register: freelancer or llc? Freelancing, I assume, would be easier as a setup.
