The valid concern that Amelia might have is:

The regulations will be more burdensome than in other business structures.

Incorporating a business often involves more regulatory requirements, such as more extensive record-keeping, compliance with corporate laws, and possible additional taxes. The other options presented are not typically valid concerns regarding incorporation. For example:

  • A corporation can last beyond the owner's involvement, as it is a separate legal entity.
  • Incorporating usually limits liability, rather than increasing it.
  • Acquiring financing may actually be easier for a corporation due to a perceived level of stability and legitimacy.
