You should consider forming an LLC, Limited Liability Company. For tax
purposes it is treated as a partnership and you are less likely to run
into the snaggles and hidden traps that a corporation can cause. Also,
you can file it yourself. You should discuss this with a qualified
professional as this posting should not be considered legal advice.
