Re:Ask HN: How Would You Charge for an MVP of a B2B SaaS? on Tuesday February 05, 2019 @02:01PM (#19088540)

Thanks for your feedback. For a foreigner it's completely a different story, indeed.

The other point is that it's an unneeded distraction. Why to bother with all that stuff if it doesn't bring you closer to the goal.

Is it really lean to incorporate just to be able to test an MVP?

For me it's like using fax machine instead of email when everyone is on messengers...

Thanks! Incorporating is not a problem indeed (save for government shutdowns :), but opening a bank/paypal account is quite a challenge, particularly for a foreign founder...

I like the idea of the extended payment terms, but won't it be weird to issue the invoice as an individual?

And why it's awkward to have a friend's company name on the invoice? Provided it's not Cambridge Analytica or Theranos, of course. There are lots of products out there not matching the name of a legal entity..

from the ask-hn dept.

Imagine you're building a B2B SaaS and you've come up with an MVP - and you've just got your first customer after a great demo.- How would you charge them, assuming that's a company and you don't have one?- Would you use your personal bank/PayPal account or you'd better ask a friend to process via his LLC?- Would you invoice them manually every month if you don't have recurring payments...

Re:Ask HN: Looking for SaaS reseller agreement template or advice on Monday February 04, 2019 @04:13PM (#19080691)

I can't refer anyone, just found a template here, hope it helps: https://www.docracy.com/0i4cfph2a7v/reseller-agreement.

May I know why have you decided to go with a reseller rather than on your own?
