Before we get ahead of ourselves, let's start where everyone does... the beginning.The top 20 questions I first get from people when they first start out20. Should I name my business my own name, or should I create a separate company name for it?The short answer is, will this company be intertwined (and reliant on) your own identity, or can it live outside of you. Also, will you ever sell your company. I can't answer this for you, but this will help you come to a more solid conclusion.4:32 -- 19. Incorporate vs. Sole Prop etc...Depends on the business structure, but basically stay as a sole prop until you earn more money than you need to live. That way, when you are making more money, you can incorporate, but you can start as a sole prop TODAY. The caveat is that if it's a highly-liable company, you may consider incorporating earlier to cover yourself from a legal perspective.We'll dive into this in 2 later episodes, one focussed around Canadian companies and taxes, and the second around American.6:16 --
