When do you start thinking about incorporation + accounting?

Hi IHer's

I am curious when do you start thinking about incorporating your business, and as a result of that, the accounting setup + admin that follows.

Is it when:

  • It becomes more than a side project (jump from full-time job)
  • It reaches a certain MRR $10k+?
  • You want to raise a pre-seed round?

Or

  • you don't think about incorporation because of all the tax/compliance/accounting that follows?

Interested in your perception Indie Hackers!

    Well, I would say when it reaches 100K, incorporation makes sense. Or whenever your business is earning more than needed to match your lifestyle. I mean, that's from my point of view, but I'd be more than happy to see what you guys think. By the way, since you mentioned the term "accounting", I wanted to ask you something. My brother is running a business, and he's looking for an accounting firm. He's looking for a team of knowledgeable experts willing to meet more than once per year for tax-filing purposes. What do you think about the services these guys https://www.ldgaccountingservices.com/small-business-bookkeeping-services are providing? Also, if you know some other good accounting services companies, please share them with me!

    "You don't think about incorporation because of all the tax/compliance/accounting that follows" translates into a LOT of problems.
