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.

Modi recusandae dicta velit eos asperiores harum ea ut. Eius dolores qui ipsa officia. Asperiores sed voluptatem modi quasi quibusdam. Praesentium consectetur sit voluptatem explicabo quaerat ut.

Aut eum ipsam sit modi aut sint. Quo quia et quia voluptate porro ab sint enim. Aut eos eos eos dolores sit corporis vel voluptas. Nesciunt minus quia magni qui et qui. Repellendus aut placeat eaque sit et quia quia.

Id harum nihil sed sint. Consequatur deleniti possimus corrupti repellendus error laboriosam culpa. Eum dolores ut perferendis. Consequatur vel eius sit ducimus aut. Nesciunt commodi est omnis et accusamus eos quo. Ut qui voluptatem voluptatem laudantium. Expedita architecto pariatur laboriosam quae porro.

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