Seriously, IANAL, but lots of (unincorporated) websites collect email addresses (right down to everyone's personal blogs). Lots of businesses operate as sole proprietorships without problems... I may be stupid, but I don't think limited liability protection for a startup is (usually) very important. At least not in the early days.
- run4yourlives 19y agoI'm with Locke here. What difference does it make? As long as you properly declare your income, and aren't in a position that you're going to get sued, you should be ok.
- epi0Bauqu 19y agoHow do you know you "aren't in a position that you're going to get sued?"
- ivankirigin 19y agoYah, the whole point is that living in this litigious society means anyone can sue for anything. Losing a house doesn't necessarily mean you lost a reasonable case. It means you lose in trying to fight. Essentially, I'm trying to spend as little on lawyers as possible.
- epi0Bauqu 19y agoYou don't have to spend anything on lawyers to create a legal entity with liability protection. It really is simple and quick.
- run4yourlives 19y agoIf you have to ask the question, you probably don't have to worry about it. :-)
