Freelancers in Ontario. I’m going on my own and I’m not sure if I should be incorporated or a sole proprietor. Do employers and recruiters have a preference? Your help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I stayed a sole proprietor. I can still write off business expenses without having to pay for expensive accountants. FYI, after you make 30k in revenue, you'll have to apply for a business number (it's cheap), or if you think you'll hit that quickly, just get one now. Employers and recruiters don't care much about that in my experience.

Thanks so much. I’ll be lucky to hit $3!
