Fred Boyle said:Bane Clene has a few trademark phrases as well
"under-powered" should be one of them

"XXX carpet cleaning...Because no one wants to be called a pig.TM"
Who would want to steal that slogan?

For trademarking? Or for letter sending?
The IRS has been aggressively cracking down on that and the federal tax code makes it almost impossible to do legally. I have never seen one carpet cleaner that is doing the 1099 thing stay around long. Nor have I seen a cleaner do it legitimately or legally. When the ax falls they bill you for the back taxes going back to day 1 of the business. Game over Mr. cole and fellow "misclassifiers".
By the way if you set the appointment time the technician is legally an employee. If you give him instructions or equipment to use, he is an employee.
Based on this and the very limited amount I know about Greg's business I would assume he is safe in the IC status he has with the companies he subs to
