Question 1

If you are just getting started, is it too early to incorporate your business? If yes, when is a good time to incorporate?

I actually incorporated fairly early for a freelancer about two years after I started freelancing full-time. My reasons for incorporation were based on having a few other things going on than straight up freelancing (including bringing in subcontractors). For many freelancers, incorporation is something that can be put off indefinitely.
