I have been involved with photographly for years but never took it to a business level. I would like to start it slowly as a side job and see where it goes.
I am looking for the right business type for the legal aspect of the work incase I start getting paid.
I will mostly be doing property/real estate/construction photography but I enjoy all kinds of photography and if I get a chance to do a portrait photgraphy, I would try that as well...
Just to make those overly sensitive wedding guys happy, I would not consider doing a wedding photography unless I am asked by a friend. And even in that case, I don't think I would seek to get paid.
So what type of business type should I be looking for?
Should this be a sole proprietorship, or LLC or even nothing? I was told that this could just be done by not setting up any business at all. In case I get paid for any work, the income can simply be claimed on individual tax return as other income. Of course then there will be no liability protection and down the road there might be negative consequences.
Anyways, I am not trying to defend one way to another here. I am just seeking advice.
What sort of business type would be the most common among photographers?
Thanks
