Don’t do this one thing, and your corporate status might be worthless.

Do you operate as a sole proprietor or a corporation? If you choose to incorporate, are you the only stockholder?

Businesses and individuals set up corporations because the structure has many unique benefits—one of which is limiting liability.

A corporation is a separate legal entity. It files its taxes, has its funds, and can hold assets.

In general, you, as a corporation owner, will not be liable for the corporation’s actions. However, there are exceptions to this rule.
