How does that work if your customers want to get a proper invoice?

If you're working with a business that wants to be writing checks to a business, then it sounds like you need to have your own business?

...but consider that you have ~$5k/yr "off the table" of your own business expenses, and I'd still stand by the suggestion that you'd want to have a clear revenue or expense plan that gets you to at least the minimum bar of $14.6k (ie: where $5k is 30% of your proposed income) before you get too excited about filing business paperwork.
