I want to start a small catering business. Should I incorporate or llc or just being a sole proprietor ok? Does anyone have a sample menu I can see to make one of my own.

Your accountant would be the best resource to determine which level of incorporation would best fit your needs.
The next step should by your local health department to see if you can meet eligibility requirements to legally sell food.

My accountant said S Corp all the way. I did not get details why as he has always done great by me so I did what he said.
