Thinking ahead can be worth it and some initial considerations can be useful. Even at this early stage
What are your options?
- Freelance
- Working for a studio
- Going into partnership
- Setting up a company/Studio
Everyone gets worried asking people what do you think?
- What do we need to look at to plan a potential future?
- This part of the course PPP asking questions and getting answers
- Where will i work from ?
- Where do my clients come from?
- How much do i charge?
- Will i get paid?
- What will i need?
- Do i pay tax,VAT ect?
These may seem a little daunting at this time of your career, BUT some are already actually trading as creative professionals.
Those who are already freelancing.
