A: While it is not required, it may be in your best interest to set up the entity as a Professional Corporation. In order to know for certain, an attorney would need to review the structure and goals of the business, to name a couple of considerations. That being the case, I recommend organizing everything in your possession that is relevant to the business and its structuring, and contacting with an attorney individually for a consultation.
