Sounds like things suck much in Cali. I own an S-Corp. but do not provide liability insurance, ever. Every customer I have knows I don't provide it and that doesn't mean that I am perceived as an employee of their company. I am confused, is there some Cali. or national law that states someone is not considered a subcontractor is they don't provide liability insurance?

My second concern is, what is considered advertising? I don't advertise any longer per se in magazines or newspapers, but I do promote myself and send out newsletters, postcards, etc., depending on the market niche I'm going after on a particular whim.

After she had been paid, she filed for unemployment and listed my
company as her "previous employer." As the owner of my one-person
company, I strongly objected. However, the California Employment
Development Department (EDD) ruled that, subcontract notwithstanding,
she was not an independent contractor because: she had no valid
business license, she did not do any advertising, and she did not
supply her own liability insurance.
