Second this: I worked for years as a contractor for US-based companies from US, DE, and AU. No issues tax-wise -- it's just a service agreement between the two companies/legal entities.
Similarly, I often had just a Google (email, calendar, docs, etc) and GitHub account. Legal agreements were like 3 pages total (mostly an NDA).
Right. We put a lot more effort into ensuring people get on-boarded and properly integrated. That's the hard part (on both sides) to making the distributed company model work. I don't think you can ever do enough on that. We owe a debt to other companies like MySQL AB who provided models for remote organization.
