Registering a Corporation or LLC
If you are a local small business owner, chances are you are a sole proprietor. 73% of the small businesses in the United States are set up as sole proprietorships. These are quick and easy to establish and do not require filing with your state as a business entity. The trouble with this structure is that as an individual, you assume all the risks and liability of your business. There are other, less risky options, that are inexpensive to form and give you an added layer of protection against liability.
