Hey Mads.
Thanks for your interesting comment. I gotta say it’s way too against the plans I was making, but it is always good and healthy to have a view on a different aspect. I didn’t read the free book yet, but it seems great. Thanks for sharing it.
I’m in Saudi Arabia. (By the way, we don’t have VAT or other similar rates, there is only a fixed flat tax to any commercial entity which is 2.5% of the balances.)
Here in my country, although there is a huge demand on video services, we don’t have an active creative design industry, therefore it’s rare to find freelancers, that’s because it’s considered a risky position. Artist prefer to work full-time in an established companies instead of offering their services as freelancers. For this reason, I can’t rely on freelancers as a production strategy, I have to offer the artists a full-time job. Sadly, it is the highest cost in the business, but it’s unavoidable if you want to increase your production speed and quality so you can ‘make your clients happy’.
