Hi all, I am new to the community. This looks like a good place to get some advice.
Anyway, I recently started a small business in custom software development, but I am unable to pay salary for someone to promote my work as I haven't generated income yet. I have tied up with a firm that do the fulfillment bit for me.
My question is if it is legal to get someone to promote my business on commission basis only? How much should I give out as commission?
Also, if existing businesses were to refer their clients to me, is it legal to pay them back a referral bonus? What would be a standard bonus look like?
Thanks.
