JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

The protections granted to you as an LLC if you're operating as a sole proprietorship are minimal, especially if you don't have any assets to shield, and the additional costs of operating as an LLC can be pretty high.

LLCs don't exist in Canada anyway.

OP, just start doing and don't worry about the legal or tax stuff. Keep your receipts for business expenses, and you don't need to charge GST until you reach a certain amount of sales.

When you do actually become profitable (and owe taxes), that's when you can start hiring an accountant and figuring out how to structure your business.

Now's a good time to start up an etsy shop or whatever and take advantage of the weak Canadian Dollar.
