As a legitimate contractor, I face competing against what I'll call gypsies on a daily basis, guys who are not really in business. As a legitimate business, I carry liability insurance, workman's compensation, vehicle insurance, pay social security and income tax on my help, collect sales tax and pay income tax on whatever is left, just to mention a few of the expenses I face. Gypsies pay none of this and I try to compete with them.
I'm not inclined to give advice on how you can compete with someone like me without paying the fees you are legally bound to. This struck a raw nerve with me, especially with the market being what it is right now.
