Ask HN: Sole proprietorship vs. LLC?

Posted by mbet10 on Monday September 20, 2010 @08:36AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I have a number of side project business ideas I'd like to get off the ground in addition to my freelance work. Is it better to get started as a sole proprietorship or a LLC corporation? Can I run multiple side project businesses under a single sole proprietorship name? Pros? Cons? Anyone have a related experience?

Re:Ask HN: Small apps ideas to learn Node.js? on Saturday August 28, 2010 @11:08PM (#1643013)
Websockets are a lot of fun - maybe something like collaborative paint or some kind of multiuser game?

On a side note, anyone know of projects using nodejs in production?

Mostly the same, including - what should I do with my life? And, much less philosophical - who owns this? (there are so many businesses, so many buildings, infrastructure, etc., who owns it all? Where does it come from? How can I start building and creating?
