What are the advantages and disadvantages to Fast Aid of classifying Gina as an independent contractor rather than as an employee?

Fast Aid does not make enough profit its first year to make payments on the loan. Charging default, the bank files a suit against Earl for the unpaid amount. Earl responds that he was acting on behalf of Fast Aid. Will the bank succeed against Earl? Why or why not?
