I am teaming with a large company on a VA SDVOSB construction job. I can't bond the job, the large company is willing to bond the full amount. I am the prime contractor the large company would be my sub. Will this fly? Does the bond need to be in my name? I can't find that it does, I think the contract officer should only care that the job is bonded. Please advise. James

One of my business goals is to assist other service disabled veterans by teaching them a new skill. This skill would allow those who need it for thier disabilities to learn to operate a computer with their voice, and, if they are interested, to pursue a new career with that skill. This skill allows individuals to work from home in many instances.

I am deciding if I need a payroll company for my company with 4 employees. So far I have been handling my own payroll with the help of my account, but I am tired of the work.
