Starting a Business – Why Incorporate?

Freya A ShoffnerOne of the first steps for starting a business is to incorporate your new company. Organizing a legal entity like a corporation or a limited liability company (LLC) can be a smart choice for an independent contractor, home based business operator or an entrepreneur starting a small business with employees and infrastructure.

Forming and operating under the appropriate legal business entity can help reduce risk and potential personal liability of the founders, by legally defining and separating business from personal assets. Incorporating a business can help protect the contractor or entrepreneur’s personal property, like a home, from the liabilities of the business, which can be considerable.
