I am looking into doing a sole proprietorship and the cost to start one is more than I expected (about $400). Anyone have resources to offer or info?

The legal status of a sole proprietor is useless.
Any business with you as the 100% shareholder is not a legal entity that is secure, even if you split it with your wife, its still not decent protection..thus not worth the fees. To obtain an EIN number for tax purposes, you need a business. Go to the town hall and ask for the registration forms...its that and the IRS form for the EIN number. Rich |
