Just being able to write code doesn't a company make. If you have a product to support or a company with many products, it's even better. You need to find someone who markets products to subcontract for.
The office space isn't necessary because you go to their offices to find out what code they need written. You are the Joe Blow writing code in the basement until you are known as the definitive writer of code that always works. When does code always work the first time out? Answer: When you have written other code like it and just change the names and dates that call the subroutines.
There are so many languages to be compatible with along with all the browsers and operating systems out there. The smartphones bring another set of protocols. I'm sure I could get in touch with some Indian coders that would charge much less than anyone on this Continent to produce starting software for my product. The interaction with them would cost nothing because it can all be done on the web.
What would make me want to hire you over the cheaper Indian guy who already has a track record?
