Once formalized, various matters will It will hit you head on! For example, the financial burden will undoubtedly increase the operating costs of the team. Another example is the energy burden. Once the company is established, more or less part of the energy will need to be spent on various company affairs. (2) Inability to focus: Human time is limited.
