When should I start an LLC for my side work?
Not all of the reason to start an LLC is liability (although that is implicit). There are two main reasons as far as I have experienced it: I always recommend that people set things up properly from the beginning.  If you do start to grow, or if you need to cut your losses, it can be very difficult to separate yourself from the company if it isn't set up entirely apart from you. I was once told, "Run your small company as you would wish it to be."  Don't get into bad habits at the beginning.  They become bad habits in big companies later on.
