If you're like us, you've heard all the negatives about being a self-employed individual. For all the freedom, we still have issues to overcome. If you've been on your own for any length of time, and you need a mortgage, a discount, health insurance, legal advice, tax advice, software support, and the like, you've heard a lot of these things too:

• Two years of tax returns to get a loan
• Not enough 'provable' income for a mortgage
• Group not large enough for group health insurance
• Company too small to get corporate discount
• No legal help without a big retainer
• Tax advice from a CPA or tax attorney is very expensive
• No house calls from the doctor, and it is tough to get a callback on the phone
• Worker's Compensation is too expensive
• Too small a group for a 401(k)
