Setting up a business and hiring a lawyer and accountant

It is going to be a healthcare business, staffed by independent contractors. Very little equipment purchased-- otoscopes, bp cuffs, syringes, etc(no xrays or high tech machines). And thanks for your input.

Are they really going to be independent contractors or are you just going to call them independent contractors to avoid paying taxes? The only reason I ask is because I've had 2 friends get jobs in the last 6 months as "independent contractors" when the reality is that they are employees.

Might want to read up to save some heartburn in the future. Independent Contractor (Self-Employed) or Employee?
