It can only help you to either incorporate or form a limited liability company to protect your personal assets. But there is no requirement to do so, if that is what your question is.

I agree with Dan, and usually forming and operating as a one-person LLC is less expensive in the long run, plus gives you some personal asset protection. However, you can operate as a sole proprietor if you want to and do not want the costs of an entity formation and operation.
