Depends on what your objectives are for your business. If you want to keep a small business like a one person business or a lifestyle business, forming an LLC is a relatively low cost and easy way that will protect you from unlimited, personal liability. If you want to hire many employees, raise money and build up a sizable business, a Corporation is typically a better choice. If you are not sure, consult a business lawyer. They will provide expert advice to help you avoid all the pitfalls.
An LLC is 1) typically cheaper, 2) is a tax “pass through” entity and 3) has less formality requirements such as having a board of directors and going through formal procedures such as holding regular board meetings.
A Corporation is better if you want to 1) raise money 2) build a large company with many employees and investors and 3) get acquired or go IPO some day.
Depends on your line of business but mostly yes. The biggest advantage of forming an LLC or a corporation is that you are shield from being personally liable for anything that the business does or causes. If your business causes damages or injuries, the creditors won’t be able to go after your personal assets. There are certain professions where the person running the business is always personally liable, for example, lawyers and doctors. In that case, they are better off forming a partnership or a limited liability partnership if they plan to have partners. If they plan to have a one person business, then having a sole proprietorship vs. incorporating has minimum impact for them.
Key things to note are: 1) price 2) payment terms 3) warranty 3) indemnification 4) limitation of liability 5) termination 6) term (how long the contract lasts) 7) miscellaneous items such as insurance, force majeure, jurisdiction/choice of law etc.

Since Covid-19 prompted a global supply-chain shortage, procurement has attracted a lot of attention it didn’t previously receive. So where should a Chief Procurement Officer sit within a company? An even better question is: should there be a Chief Procurement Officer at all? Here are some thoughts.

Read moreFor procurement managers, the process of running a large-scale RFP with multiple vendors tends to be involved, complex, and chaotic. The bad news is that’s almost by definition what running an RFP means. The good news, however, is that you can use a software system to manage the process to eliminate manual work, consolidate information, collaborate effectively with both the internal and external teams, and ultimately digitalize the RFP process. Here is how.
