This is the continuation of the interview with Nellie Akalp, CEO of CorpNet.com.
What’s the best form of corporation for a solopreneur?–
The Sole Proprietorship is the simplest form of business entity. However, without the protection of a corporate shield, personal assets are exposed to business liabilities. And, even where a small business owner doesn’t have assets today, a judgment against that business owner can last up to 22 years. Therefore, in light of how easy and inexpensive it is to incorporate or form an LLC online today, the two structures that most solopreneur go with is the LLC or the S Corp.
What benefits does using Corpnet.com give the woman entrepreneur?–

While there are more women entrepreneurs than ever before, they still aren’t making the money that men make. What are your thoughts on why women-owned businesses have a lower average income than men-owned businesses?
I wrote a post for Mashable about women entrepreneurs in the workforce recently that discussed a similar topic. The post got a lot of buzz from both men and women sharing their thoughts on who makes a better entrepreneur. Basically the fact that women have a lower average income than men shouldn’t be the focus of too much conversation. The focus should be the rise that is happening with women in the workforce and as entrepreneurs. We are rising to the top and will continue to do so – and along with that will come the higher income. It’s only a matter of time.
Anything else you’d like to share with us regarding CorpNet?
