Independent Contractor or employee when hiring for your new startup cleaning business?  We Ask a House Cleaner about building a house cleaning empire and if it makes sense to hire an independent contractor.  Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru juxtaposes the setup between a maid and an independent contractor.  She gives tips on matching uniforms, car decals, car magnets and things like FICA tax and Workman's Comp.  If you want to manage your company image and have matching cars and teams of people - you're better off hiring employees. Today's show sponsors are My Cleaning Connection and Bedicalcare.   *** COMPLETE SHOW NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE *** http://askahousecleaner.com/independent-contractor-or-employee/   *** MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS *** Poached!
