None is needed! IC's pay for their own expenses, including insurance, business license etc. I am an IC in another industry. For some reason I thought pet-sitting was different. Anyway, so I removed my comment on youtube.<br><br>I think it would definitely be advantageous for me to hire IC's even if I only work the business part-time. Your 6 tips are invaluable, and as IC's, I wouldn't have to worry about training them. I would rather have business partners than employees. Hi, Joshua:

Pets are my passion---especially cats, but I also love dogs. Anyway, my concern is not having to pay an IC, it is the insurance coverage. Insurance coverage for me is over $600 per year. Since I would be doing this on a part-time basis, I don't want high overhead. What would I do in this case? I have already posted on You Tube. Thank you again. Your tips are fantastic!. The partnership one really got me! I also like the comment you made about responsible business people" plan for the worst and hope for the best." You are very wise.
