Why Incorporate Your Business vs. Risking Operating as a Sole Proprietorship
Anyone who operates a business, alone or with others, may incorporate. Under the right circumstances, the owner of any size business can benefit!
But maybe you're wondering, "How can I be sure I'm choosing the right entity? Wait - what happens if I choose the wrong one? Will the IRS come after me? Will I really be protected against lawsuits? I have so many questions."
Everyone in business is looking for iron-clad protection, striving to "bullet proof" their company against today's ultra-competitive business climate. If you're like most, you've probably asked yourself the questions above... or maybe you haven't yet decided whether incorporation is right for you. Maybe you're still wondering.
• Why incorporate at all? And why in Nevada, versus in my home state?
• What are Nevada's benefits?
• Why starting your business as a sole proprietorship may prevent your business from having access to credit for your business after you incorporate! Hint: Your "revolving debt ratio" is a major factor and this is something you will never hear from your CPA!
• S-Corporation. C-Corporation. LLC. What's the difference?
• Do I have choices as to how my LLC will be taxed? How do I know which is best for me?

Why Incorporate?
First, let's look at the basic question at hand: Why bother with incorporation at all?
If you're like many small business owners, right now you're operating as a sole proprietorship. That's probably not because you've chosen to, but because you don't consider your business large or sophisticated enough to need to incorporate - or maybe you've never thought about it at all.
If you're lucky, you'll never have to pay the price for putting off that crucial next step. But that's a very dangerous "if".
