I became a LLC Jan 1st after 4 years in biz... The fees total was near $700My accountant told me it was time, my profits increased to a level that it no longer made sense to remain sole propritor. The reality was buying my wife (new Vice President) a new car. Insurance, fuel, mileage - covered by the tree biz. Health insurance too.
Makes me remember the days as an employee - $18 per hr to climb trees, then go to bank on friday, bar saturday, hungover sunday, back to work monday.
Gotta go, the office phone is ringing, must be the lady with the stump I havent got to yet. Wait, she'll call back sunday a.m., monday a.m., etc.
