Ask Slashdot: When Is It a Good Idea To Incorporate?

Posted by timothy on Thursday September 13, 2012 @02:39AM from the when-you're-visiting-delaware dept.

First time accepted submitter stairmaster writes "A couple of months ago I came across an opportunity to supplement my income by doing some consulting work (read mobile app development) on the side. It appears that I will be doing this work for some time and my question for you is this: is it worth it to incorporate as a business? I know that the answer to this question is extremely dependent on circumstance but I'm interested in your experiences. Have you been in a similar situation, and if you have how did it work out for you?"

If you read slashdot, you know that corporations are evil. So, clearly, the time to incorporate is when you decide to become evil.

Seriously. I once hired a lawyer without hiring a lawyer first to ask if I should hire a lawyer. Big mistake. It was totally unnecessary. If only I had hired that lawyer he would have told me not to hire a lawyer and I would have saved a lot of money.
