If you incorporate as a normal for profit entity, the rules are very different depending on how many "stockholders" (ie members, or owners, people who have rights to the assets of the corporation) you have. I believe the magic number is somewhere between 10 and 20 most places. Most of what you need to be worried about only comes up if you cross that number of stockholders limit. Martin
