Do I Need to Form an LLC?

Short answer: No.

You do not need to form an LLC to provide services as an independent contractor with us. Most contractors begin as sole proprietors and do not create a business entity.

Whether you choose to form an LLC or another type of business entity is entirely your decision and depends on your individual circumstances.

Because everyone's tax and legal situation is different, we recommend consulting a qualified tax or legal professional before deciding whether forming an LLC is right for you.
