What is the best and most correct way to organize financial and economic policy in a web team (web studio)?

Question

Design

Let's say there is a group of people, let's say friends, each of whom is an expert in his field, performing the following roles in team work:
- designer
- layout designer
- manager, organizer, coordinator
- coder, programmer, system administrator.
Everyone has their own price tags for their area and part of the work (imposition costs so much .. design so much ... and so on).
What is the best way to build a pricing policy in a team? If everyone wants to work as a team, naturally.
How best to organize the financial and economic policy. Should the team stand out in a web studio right away, immediately name themselves and advance in the market? Or is it enough at the beginning without names, just to work in a team, and at least a couple of people had an IP?
Dear heads of web studios, advertising companies, freelancers, who works in the team, how did you organize such business processes and allocate the budget, share money, how did you determine the price range for services and build the whole essence of money life in the company???
Thanks

Answer 1

The owner always bears the risk. It may be one or there may be many. If all friends become founders, everyone will be equally interested in profit. If all of them are hired personnel, then the headache of the owner is to provide them with work and wages. The worst thing for a common cause is to start sharing money that does not exist yet. Are your friends willing to share the entrepreneurial risk with you? Take out a loan if there is nothing to pay employees and taxes? Receive minimal money and work from morning to evening at the start stage? Before teaming up and registering, it is better to provide yourself with a minimum number of regular customers. Otherwise, at the first financial problems, the team will be torn apart.

Brand and legal the face is not always the same.
Branding (your website, etc.) is already possible.
To accept money from those who need all the documents - any of your individual entrepreneurs can, provided that you all trust him.
One person still has to lead the project in front of the customer, it is logical that he also receives the money. He is responsible to the customer.
If you come as a "crowd of independent specialists", then you are not a cool web studio. Someone should represent + one more experienced tech. specialist.
In fact, it will not be an equal team - this is fantastic.
There must be someone who will sort everything out.
Well, of course, if you want to work seriously.
You can also craft. Nobody bothers to tell the customer: I'm building a website, here's my favorite designer, invite him, pay him separately.
But even in such a scheme, the main money will be received by one of you, who is the coolest and since those. points of view and communicate is able and will take most of the work.
No equality is a priori possible.
With those who do their part of the work quickly (for example, on a large project, what should a designer do for three months?), He will constantly earn extra money on the side.
And one day you will be faced with the fact that you need to do a project urgently, and your friend is busy with a side project. What will you do? Tell the client to wait? Try to do some of the work yourself, not according to your profile? Hire a replacement for your outside friend?
In short: who took the client - he leads him entirely. Giving some of the work to friends (working with friends, by the way, is a bad idea).
Otherwise it will be a mess.

I do not see what the issue is with the budget, and what is the policy. Now everyone names his own price, i.e. the total amount of the project is added up from the estimates of each part. You add to this amount as much as you see fit, for insurance / taxes / profits, or from knowledge of the client's capabilities. People get paid according to their estimate. About design is a separate issue, it depends on clients as well.
By promoting the studio, you will not lose anything, current / past clients do not care, they write to people, often not knowing which studios they work for.

One person handles all financial matters

I did not understand the question, or rather most of it. If the question is how to divide the loot in an organization of friends:
A company is drawn, shares are distributed. All are hired as employees of this firm. There are two options - part-time or full-time.
Honestly, despite the fact that you have friends, the world, chewing gum is better than the type of full employment. That is, everyone is assigned a minimum salary + additional payment for, for example, every hour. Or there, for some amount of work. Moreover, it should be fixed. Well, for example: Friend, you will receive 12 thousand rubles a month regardless of whether you work or not. + for each hour or for each kb of code 100 rubles.
The rest of the money is paid out through dividends. Why not piecework? Well, because you are all friends, peace, gum. And this means exactly that, MOST MOSTLY at the beginning of a new project, you will not be able to objectively divide the project into honest monetary parts. Will start cards, money and two trunks + whores.
