Who is interested in using Hackerspace as a corporate umbrella to bill clients?
Flo.
, I see that the idea of an entity available for members to bill
through hackerspace has been around...
Please answer if you would have been interested by such a service, and/
or would still be interested today. Once we are a few people, we can
make it happen!

entity as a third party which accepts no liability for a failure of
the individual to perform. I don't know what companies would contract
with the company if the company had no liability.
You also need to be careful not to be assessed as an employment
agency. That carries a hefty fine. To be a legal employment agency or
search firm requires a sizable share capital, banker's guarantee and
other compliance before you get certified to 'sell' services of
individuals or receive a commission or finders fee for completion of
contracts as one of your revenue streams.
Your definition of the business as a service provider earning a
license fee would be irrelevant to what MOM assesses the business to
be.
I've had a client get a sizable fine for this - just above 5 figures.
Ouch ouch!

Wow; Maybe there is an exception for all the little maid agencies around?
A bunch seem too small to have jumped a bunch of hurdles, especially
share capital. Or maybe they're not exactly legit?
