So I figured I'd ask here since a few of you are business people.
I have started doing some design work for a firm. I will ultimately be providing production ready drawings to my client for him to produce, market and distribute in trade for some lump sum of cash (haven't worked out payment details yet)
Question is, should I form some sort of business to protect my self from liability claims, contract disputes, etc. and to make my design business more legitimate? and if so, should it be an SP, LLC, etc?
Eventually, I would like to start my own business of a different type, doing offroad fab and outfitting.
Any guidance from those who have done this? I also don't have a lot of money to hire an attorney to figure this out for me, hence the whole working for myself, doing what I can to earn any money I can!
Thanks!
