I'm a freelance designer signing contracts in the $5K–$20K range with business clients. Help me understand whether an LLC or sole proprietorship fits my situation.
Shares general information on how the two business structures compare for a freelancer working at this contract range with business clients. Covers liability separation, tax treatment, vendor onboarding expectations, and considerations specific to design work such as IP handoffs and revision disputes. Notes that this is general information only and a licensed attorney or CPA can speak to a specific situation.
What should a basic service contract include?
Lists the standard sections: parties, scope of work, deliverables, timeline, payment terms, revisions and change orders, intellectual property ownership, confidentiality, termination, and governing law. Flags state-specific requirements where relevant.
When to consult a professional.
Many legal matters require a licensed attorney — including contract disputes, lawsuits, intellectual property registration, employment terminations, regulated industries, real estate transactions, and any situation with meaningful liability exposure. The Assistant flags when a question calls for professional legal counsel rather than general information.
Disclaimer. Legal Info Assistant provides general information only. It is not a licensed attorney and does not provide legal advice. Nothing on this page or in the platform creates an attorney-client relationship. For legal matters, consult a licensed attorney in your state.
