Answer 1

It's better to form a LLC rather than a S corp... same protections of a S corp but a LOT less paperwork hassles. There are lots of places you can file for LLC or S corp for very reasonable rates. For example try here:

Better start an LLC company.
Go to an auditor (lots of them will have offices in professional parks)
They may charge max 500 $ for registering the company
