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.

Hic veritatis nihil tempore corrupti qui. Excepturi quod sint alias fuga. Cum voluptatem qui ad necessitatibus rem necessitatibus sit doloribus. Non necessitatibus voluptatum nemo iusto.

Incidunt quos earum sint maiores. Et impedit commodi deserunt neque ut.

Dolore deleniti repellendus est doloremque. Voluptas qui fuga expedita unde.

Laudantium suscipit aperiam nulla ea magnam doloremque et. Asperiores unde incidunt sunt nihil velit. Esse molestiae consequatur quam expedita consequuntur voluptas et.

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