In every business I've ever started on my own, I created all the positions and ran them under assumed names from day 1, then tried to hire people with those names when I could afford them down the road.
This generally meant that I would use family/friends names and try to hire them later. ;)
I re-read this 5 times and still trying to figure out what u said lol..
Edit: oh, finally got it!
It's a very popular practice, just ask Beorn Gonthier. ;)
