Ask HN: SaaS MVP – form company before or after getting paying customers?
I'm in the UK if it makes any odds.
I am about to release the MVP of my first ever Saas product which (hopefully!) will have paying customers. I know I'll need to deal with the business sides of things at some point - form a company, create a company bank account, track money in/out for tax purposes. Should I do all of this before getting a paying customer? Or afterwards..?
The MVP philosophy would surely be afterwards but perhaps for legal reasons this is undesirable. What did you guys do?
