I&#39;ve been running several blogs for many years. Not highly profitable but some nice extra income. I&#39;ve been wondering for those who are doing it in the same niche like tech or product review blogs, what would be the advisable way to go. Here&#39;s a possible scenario:-<br /><br />1) Blog income from say ads and affiliate around RM10,000 monthly<br />2) Personal expenditure to purchase products for the reviews say monthly around RM2,000<br />3) Hosting fees + domain yearly of say RM600<br />4) Paying freelance contributors monthly (no full-time staff)<br /><br />From the scenario laid out above, which of the sole proprietorship or private limited company would be the better way to go for to reap the maximum profit/tax benefits? I&#39;m not concerned about potential investors or needing a loan, I&#39;m more interested if I could write off those extra expenditure as company expenses and whether the yearly cost of something like private limited plus the effort is even worth it. <br /><br />Thanks in advance. whitetower Finance, Business and Investment House Tue, 14 Jan 2020 22:09:21 +0800
