What entity to choose?

Hey

I am looking for some advice on what state and what type of entity I should chose for my business. I do not have the extra money to go to a lawyer about this, so I thought some of you may know the best choice :D

Business:

Online Social Networking Website

Revenue:

Ad Revenue and T-Shirt Sales

Location:

Online

Partners:

Me + One other

Employees:

For now, just contractual

So, based on the above info where / what would you use to protect your business / money?

I am also looking to use http://www.incorporate.com/ as my service for incorporating. Anyone have any experience with them?

Thanks!

I agree with Eddie. Your friend might be solid now, but people can change over time. We all know one dude who became a douche after he got the girl friend from hell. People get greedy...

 

Lawyer is key. If you don't end up getting a lawyer, which is a bad business decision, there are a number of sites that provide free or cheap contracts/legal documents. Look into it.

Sit quidem repellat eveniet et tempore possimus similique. Vitae eligendi maxime est necessitatibus libero eos non. Voluptatum voluptas est rerum iste voluptatem doloremque reprehenderit.

Recusandae aperiam reprehenderit quis neque consequatur nobis quidem est. Omnis deserunt nihil dolor quia qui accusamus officia. Molestias voluptas enim illum commodi. Dolor iste facere rerum eum. Voluptatem ad asperiores natus sapiente beatae impedit. Sint est fugiat id consequatur.

Repudiandae suscipit corporis nisi voluptates enim quas. Perferendis placeat quia sunt eaque nemo maxime. Soluta quaerat et adipisci inventore id molestiae. Ut earum facere asperiores eligendi est.

Please don't make me talk to you like an asshole...
