Look at your competitors. What do they legally have to do to operate? Licensing, taxes, insurance, permits, etc.. Tally up all those things. Then stop paying them. Now you can offer lower rates than competitors. If the government tells you that you have to do certain things hire a lawyer and claim that you aren't actually in the industry that you are in.

Bonus points: Instead of employees use contractors, and instead of making capital investments make your contractors do it. Just make sure you can change the terms of service at any time, without consultation.

Externalize all your costs, keep all the revenue!
