If your influx of new contracts is stable enough, why not rent a cheap office, get said other person as an employee and work together at the same place?

I'm not sure the influx is that stable. And I'm not sure I want to shift to being a manager of a multi-person development shop. I suppose if I'm sub-contracting then I'm doing much the same admin work there as I would with a regular employee, except I think having that formal "business with employees" arrangement adds some complications (payroll, taxes, insurance, etc.)
