After being laid off last year, I've done a little freelance work (web design and print advertising) that seems to be picking up steam a bit.

I see others, including NA for her latest business, has formed an LLC.

I'm wondering if there are any advantages to me doing that as opposed to being a sole proprietor (is that what I am?) I suspect I need to get that straight and become more legit business-wise.

Do you have any advice on this? Is it easy to form an LLC if that's what I should do?
