About this listen
Most photographers obsess over camera gear and ignore the costs that actually determine whether their business survives.

You’ll learn:
• The true non-gear expenses most photographers forget
• LLC formation and business license realities
• Insurance breakdown: General Liability, equipment, and Professional Liability
• Minimum viable gear vs. unnecessary upgrades
• Renting vs. buying equipment strategically
• Monthly recurring software costs you must factor into pricing
• The hidden impact of self-employment tax
If you want clarity on what this business actually costs before you jump in, this episode gives you the numbers and the priorities.
