I'm looking at incorporating my web design business in order to limit by personal liability. I'm also finding that companies prefer to to do business with another legal entity instead of a fly-by-night 1 man operation. I'm eventually going to look into copyrighting and trademarking a significant amount of the information/websites/CMS I generate for the Internet community. I'd like for that information and other intellectual property to be registered to a corporation. Moreover, I'd be able to register domain names to a company...

There are plenty of benefits, I think, but I don't know where to start looking for more information. Google and Yahoo are *filled* with sites that'll "do it quick and easy" etc etc. and that's just making things hard on me. I'd like to find some explanations written in plain English about the benefits of incorporation, and how to do it. These INC-building businesses are only feeding me lines... I want to know what this will do to my personal IRS forms, etc. I need to learn.

Thanks in advance, folks.
