Starting a design company for myself

Ahh. Makes sense. My neck of the woods though, I have been told (by an acquaintance who did so for his wife) to budget $2500-3000 to get an LLC registered and up and running…I set up a dummy SP to just go through the motions earlier this year and it was about $90, in comparison. Harder pill to swallow (I also rent :-p), but I definitely see the advantages.
