Seeking advice from anyone running a service business from another country

Hey Sweaties,

I'm in the planning phase for a residential cleaning business in a single US city. The catch is, I'm managing it from Switzerland. The model is 100% remote, working with local 1099 contractors.

I know some people run these from a different state, but I'm looking for someone who is doing it from a different country.

Have you done it, or do you know someone who has? I'm trying to wrap my head around the specific hurdles of time zones, international banking, and building a local team's trust when you can't meet them in person. Any advice would be gold.
