			When I started my business three (or so) years ago, I didn&#39;t have any plans to hire employees. I figured if I needed help, I would bring on a 1099 contractor, or independent, worker. And that is just what I&#39;ve done. That is, until Lea and I decided to work together.

There were still a few more things I needed to be a functioning employee, including US banking so I could get paid....
