Me to Project Management?
Hello everyone!
Here is the scenario. I started a sole propiertoship and obtained a client through online networking. The job was pretty much data entry and he has goals in 2009 which include hiring up to five (5) virtual assistants on board.
We discussed project management which is something I was interested in and would definitely accept the opportunity if it presented itself. However, I told him that I didn't have too much experience in it "virtually" but more of it on-site. He said, "No problem. We can always learn."
Okay so the holidays are over and he sends me an email about hiring the first VA to come on board. He stated the maximum pay rate he would pay, the pay rate he would give me in managing the individual, and how many hours a week was needed.
The problem...as a sole propiertor, am I allowed to manage this individual? Wouldn't this be considered a multi-VA or sub-contract of some sort? Also, do I need to change from sole propiertor to another form of business?
He wasn't clear on whether he would pay the client directly or if he would make payment to me and then I would pay the client. I feel like I'm getting into something way too much and that I don't understand. Please help!!
