[Tutoring Concerns] André and Sasha Want to Go into Business

[Tutoring Concerns] André and Sasha want to go into business together and plan on offering a tutoring service to high school and college students. André proposes that they share control of the business and split profits equally and not bother with a written agreement. Sasha, however, is concerned about being able to pay their debts, since they will have to rent tutoring space, and purchase computers and supplies. She is also concerned about parents and students who may sue if their test scores do not improve. She tells André that she just bought a new boat and car, and that she does not want her assets to be in jeopardy. She tells André that they should form a corporation to shield their personal assets.
