Our Story

Founded in Miami, Florida in 2018, LimaClearing began as a small community of freelancers sharing resources and advice. Our founder, Judy Hayes, recognized the challenges independent professionals face navigating contracts, taxes, and client relationships without traditional corporate support structures.

What started as a simple resource-sharing forum has grown into the premier hub for freelance professionals across the United States. Today, we serve over 50,000 members with comprehensive guides, tools, and a supportive community.

Based in the heart of Miami's business district, we understand the unique needs of American freelancers operating in today's gig economy. Our Florida location gives us insight into both local business dynamics and national freelance trends.
