Should a hairstylist form an LLC or sole proprietorship?

A hairstylist should consider forming an LLC (Limited Liability Company) rather than a sole proprietorship for several reasons. An LLC provides personal liability protection, meaning the stylist's personal assets are generally shielded from business debts and legal claims. Additionally, an LLC can offer tax flexibility and credibility, which may attract more clients. However, the choice depends on individual business goals and circumstances, so consulting with a legal or financial advisor is advisable.
