If you serve alcohol, then you probably have to carry additional insurances and have to be inspected and have to meet certain code, etc.

Oh, I could go on.... but this is why I am self-employed and will never grow my business to have employees - I work on a contract basis ONLY.

When you get down to it, the only people making money are really the insurance companies - think about it...

To be honest I work for an insurance company and trust me it is far from us making the real money, it goes past us to the re-insurance companies and the government, trust me, I do not want to discuss because it is another time and place and it will make your head spin
