I'm a freelancer. How do I go about getting paid and what other legalities should I consider?

The first step is to make sure you have an agreement in place with your client. This can be done by creating an invoice that outlines the services you provided, the price for those services, and any additional fees or taxes that may apply. Once you’ve established this agreement, it's important to keep track of all payments received so that you know when and how much you are due. Additionally, you should also research local laws regarding payment processing and taxes to ensure compliance. Lastly, it's wise to create a record-keeping system that allows you to easily access information on past invoices and payments.
