Hi all,

I've got a question. I earn money from an internet business and I think it's time to get legal and set up a company. The business now makes a respectable amount of money - anywhere from $3-$6k per month. (Wish the $US was not so horribly weak though). It's a 'one man band' business and I don't need employees. I'm thinking about the limited partnership structure with my wife. N.B. We've been together for 7 years and married for over 1.

I'm not too savvy on business structures so I'd like to know what are the risks of this structure. By the way, I trust my wife completely and she is definitely not with me for my money as she has much more than me. So, please can we not make this into a "she'll run away with your money" thread.

What risks are there with a limited partnership? If I trust my wife what other things make this structure any riskier than a limited company. I also want to get a work permit for what it's worth.

Thanks for your help on this guys.
