Open For Business

What I Learned About Contracts & Building a Legal Entity

Starting a business is like coding without a linter.
You’ll make mistakes, but the bugs—er, lessons—are worth it. After officially launching Pivot Web Development S.A. de C.V. (try saying that five times fast), here’s what I’ve learned:

1. Contracts Are Your Best Friend (Yes, Really)

I used to think contracts were for Fortune 500 companies or people who enjoy reading 10-point font. Turns out, they’re the ultimate “trust but verify” tool. A good contract:

• Defines scope so nobody’s surprised when you build a website, not a time machine.
• Clarifies payment terms (because “exposure” doesn’t pay the coffee bill).
• Includes a kill fee, just in case Clientzilla emerges.

Pro tip: Skip the legalese. If it sounds like a Shakespearean monologue, rewrite it.

2. “Formal Entity” ≠ Losing Your Soul

Registering as a Sociedad Anónima de Capital Variable (SA de CV) in El Salvador felt daunting. But here’s the secret: A business structure is just a framework. Our philosophy—simplicity, transparency, and human-first solutions—stays at the core.

3. Coffee Fuels Progress, But Boundaries Fuel Sanity

I’m a one-person show (for now). That means I’m always available… within reason. Need a website at 3 a.m.? I’ll be asleep, but I’ll reply by sunrise.

4. Ready for Clients (Yes, You!)

Pivot Web Development is now open for business! Whether you need a sleek site, a custom web app, or someone to explain why “responsive design” isn’t a yoga term, reach out.

Final Thought

Building a business is messy, hilarious, and occasionally panic-inducing. But here’s the upside: You’re not hiring a faceless corporation. You’re working with me—a real human who over-explains tech terms and laughs at bad puns.

Let’s build something great. Or just argue about tabs vs. spaces. I’m here.

P.S. If you’re reading this at 2 a.m., go to bed. The internet can wait.
