Many of those around these days especially in time of recession! I don't know about you all, but i think registering your company and getting out of the free-lance world is a better idea. That way you can charge more for work, and come as a company (if you have the resources!) Good luck everyone and thanks again for a good read. Will be coming back here for sure!
