So from what I'm understanding, it seems like it boils down to how likely you are to get sued. If you're working alone and doing something that's pretty low-stakes (web development, graphic design, illustration, interior decorator, etc), then it probably makes the most sense to be a sole proprietor. If you're doing something with a higher risk of legal repercussions (construction, architecture, lawyer, physical therapist, etc), then you'd probably want to consider an LLC or S Corp. Does that sound about right?

@dflosounds You make a lot of sense. I'm a chef and plan to launch a cafe and catering company. I plan to start with the sole proprietorship and upgrade to an LLC. As long as I document everything, I pretty protected against possible lawsuits.

Excellent!!! Excellent!!! Job Krystal. You explained the difference between the two entities in such a way that a minor can glean from the benefits of your knowledge and wisdom. I also love the way you recapped the structure of LLC vs S Corporations in the side panel captions. Very professional and likewise ELOQUENT. This has been the best break downs of the pros and cons between the two entities of corporations I have ever seen. Excellent Job!!!!!

So, I am working with a travel agent hosting agency who recommends the same things that you've overviewed here. The only thing now, is that I am very intimidated by going sole proprietorship - in the event that a client goes on a travel, and then tries to sue or stop payment. Right now though, I cannot afford the fees associated with my state to file for an LLC. So I am really at an "intimidation stop" right now, not knowing what route to choose. My business is not open yet, and another aspect that is holding me up, is not knowing if I "have" to go LLC route, if I am the sole proprietor but my business name is not my own name.

But wait. If a single member LLC has the liability split between all the members, then the single member has 100% of liability. So liability is not limited and is the same as sole proprietorship? In that case, the only difference between sole proprietor and single member LLC is having to pay the $800/year fee for having the LLC?

So should I file an LLC for that reason and than file a DBA under that llc for the second brand? I don't see any way to do two brands with just sole proprietor
