There are many benefits to incorporating your small business, including:

- Increased credibility: When you incorporate your business, it shows that you are serious about your business and are committed to its success. This can help you attract more customers and clients, as well as partners and investors.

- Access to more capital: Incorporating your business can make it easier to secure loans and investment capital. This is because banks and investors view incorporated businesses as being more stable and less risky than unincorporated businesses.

- Tax advantages: The ability to use the small business deduction and the possibility of paying tax at a lower rate.
