Probably a good idea to set things up as a 1 member LLC in order to limit any liability, so that if anything happens, you're not personally liable for anything.

I'm also getting ready to start another small business for a side project, and have had a good experience getting it setup using LegalZoom. Quick and really easy to do.

Just opt to get the EIN (employee identification number), yourself from irs.gov instead of having them do it for you. It's free on irs.gov and can be done in a couple minutes. LegalZoom however charges like $69 for it, which isn't worth it.

Hope this helps.
