Really a matter of faking it until you've made it..

- have a physical address

- have photos of your employees (even if some were drafted in from the office next door)

- be highly responsive to strange (to you) requests for documentation etc. from their IT, procurement, exec and management teams

- this is hard but don't over stress when they are late paying you. It takes a hideously long time for corporates to actually cut you a check. They always pay - eventually. But its not impossible to wait for 9 months longer than you thought to get paid, just because of their process. You have to somehow survive this

- have a lawyer

We bootstrapped off of consulting revenue to cover the costs in the start
