There's a catch, of course -- to which he also alluded in passing. That's the "personal guarantee" to which he referred. That's just what creditors will call for in virtually any case. There's the possibility, of course, that a vendor/supplier, accustomed to waiting -- say -- 30 days or so for payment won't make any such request. Then, if the order was clearly by the limited-liability entity, employees of such an entity are not liable. Only the entity or corporation is liable. But you might reasonably expect such a state to be disputed. A court might be told, for example, that you acted deceptively in holding that your purchase was actually by the corporation when it really was for personal goods of no inherent interest to a business. There are surely dozens of other claims that could be made -- leaving it up to the court to determine their validity. Or yours. Q.E.D., it's substantially less simple than it seems on the surface. In passing, you might find it somewhat interesting that the same individuals who find the creation of this "artificial person" is important seem often to be the individuals who weep at that "artificial person" being expected to pay his own taxes. "Oh, NO," they say. "That's actually MY money they're taxing. They're taxing me twice -- once as myself and once as my rporation." And they can't see the oxymoronic nature of their position.

I use Simply Accounting version 5.0 for Windows (I don't like it as much as the version 4.0 I upgraded from). I bought M.Y.O.B 7.0 for my wife and after getting the hang of it she likes it quite a bit. When I first started using Simply Accounting I didn't care for it much but I found it had to more with the fact that I didn't know much about how accounting software worked versus the actual software it's self.

I have a prior version of MYOB & I was wondering what forms you are using with the software? I am using the multi-purpose forms from MYOB (after the saleswoman told me that it was compatible with my version), but when I check off that I am using "pre-printed" forms from MYOB, the printer prints everything but the header and the place where it says "tax," "total," "freight," etc. Does version 7 do the same thing?
