good info... there is so much more that goes into running a design business than just designing. Young designers would do well to look into all that it takes.

Sooooooooo true. Just what is it that drives them to hire a professional, then believe they know best how to design it?

I have many friends who do this kind of things (graphic design freelancer) and believe me,if you don't have an flow amount of money,equipment,self-confidenc­e and experience in business management or even high paid client,,I suggest you forget about it,because you will never survive in this kind of things.Now my friend are desperate and broke...so my advice " Don't quit your day job " (seriously)

If you cannot afford a bookkeeper I would highly recommend taking a Quickbooks training course. Just to make sure you fully understand the software and aren't limiting yourself.

You don't need an accountant or bookkeeper. There is software out there to keep things organized (Quickbooks for instance). I use HR Block for taxes and I do it online. When you are starting out you can't afford to hire all these people. You can write off the Quickbooks and the HR Block tax software.

If you are just sending files over email you won't have sales tax. It's not a tangible good.
