Hire myself for my rehab?

[Minna Reid]

I recently started a home improvement company - albeit mostly to get my sparsely-employed-as-of-late-contractor-boyfriend off the couch..( He is great at what he does, not so at sales, marketing, follow up, paperwork, keeping books, which I am now handling, along with some light assistance to actual physical work)...Anyway I'm starting my first rehab shortly and was planning to just do the work (it's a light job) between he, I and maybe another guy we know. But now I'm wondering - would there be some advantage to hiring my own company to do this work and getting it all on the books? Any plus or negative in that? At tax time even? Or am I better off without?
