[Hidden-tech] DBA, LLC, or Sub S?

[Charlie Heath]

Looking into incorporating in Mass, it appears that LLC is more costly than 
Sub S because of a bigger state fee assessed annually.  Can anyone who has 
gone through these hoops comment on advantages of either LLC or Sub S for a 
Mass business?

What threshold would you pick for switching from DBA to INC?  I'm 
considering switching from doing small software contracts on my own to 
taking on a somewhat bigger contract and subcontracting part of the work 
out.  Will INC really protect me a lot more than DBA for this purpose?

Thanks .
