If you are considering starting a business or are currently conducting business as a sole proprietorship you need to serious consider creating some type of business entity. Regardless of your level of success, you are opening yourself up to a huge liability that could result in you loosing everything you currently possess.

Your business income is being taxed at the highest level possible using this non-structure and you are paying both sides of the payroll tax which is currently 12.6% on top of your individual income taxes.
