The current situation, based on a confluence of factors, is as follows:  | |||
* sudo room has many reasons to [[incorporate]] and select a tax structure, including but not limited to:  | |||
*# forming partnerships with other entities ([[Fiscal Sponsors]], [http://www.counterculturelabs.org/ Counter Culture Labs], the [http://thepublicschool.org/ Public School])  | |||
*# the ability to put the entity's name on rental contracts / leases  | |||
*# purchase goods and services as the entity  | |||
*# benefit from the prevention of individual liability  | |||
*# purchase insurance of various sorts  | |||
*# generally conduct business in a more consistent and unified fashion  | |||
*# operate with greater overall expenditure.  | |||
