However, I agree more with the suggestion in your post regarding incorporation.<br><br>I am an attorney and consultant to entrepreneurs. I help people get started. I agree that cost savings at the beginning are very important, and leases and expensive office furniture are easily avoided.<br><br>The risk associated with not incorporating can be very high, and the risk is directly linked to personal finances. Spending a few hundred dollars to incorporate to protect those finances seems to me like a wise investment. <br><br>If nothing bad happens -- as in Diane's case -- then the entrepreneur already has a corporate structure to work with. If something bad does happen, then all liability is personal.Tariq KhanTue, 17 Apr 2007 12:38:53 -0000
