Being a new small business owner, I was recently forced to re-evaluate my company’s legal position. As a sole-proprietor, I learned that ALL of my personal assets were at risk of being taken if there were ever a legal dispute against my company.

Immediately, I visited a lawyer and formed a Limited Liability Company. Taxes are figured exactly the same, but now the assets I’ve worked so hard for are better protected.

“Operating a business as the sole proprietorship puts the owner in a vulnerable position. A better choice would be to start your company as a limited liability corporation. This means your company is a separate entity that must deal with its own legal issues and you are not personally held liable.”
