Incorporating Brass Quintet
For those of you who are members of brass quintets or other small groups that have incorporated, what form of corporation did you choose and why?

Re: Incorporating Brass Quintet
We did it as an LLC. You probably don't want to be a corporation because it adds a lot of red tape, and you can be limited by non-profit status unless you are planning to focus on educational projects.

Re: Incorporating Brass Quintet
Jacob's right on. We went with an LLC for mostly legal reasons, though my accountant has stated several times that an s-corp would save us on taxes.
