You have decided to open your own business. For many years you have had an interest in landscape design and have had summer jobs in the past where you helped design gardens and general residential landscaping
You have leased office space and purchased the necessary equipment for your business. You realize, however, that you will not be able to do all of the landscaping and gardening work yourself. You will need to hire workers to do the physical labor.
To create a workforce of landscapers, you are considering hiring your workers as independent contractors rather than employees.
Would you operate your business as a sole proprietorship, a partnership, or a corporation? Please explain which business form you would choose and why.
