I've been doing freelance web design / software consulting for quite awhile, but usually just to supplement a full-time employment income.

In the short-term I've got little interest in growing the "company" as a I have a really kick-ass job.

My freelance web clients don't usually care, but people looking to hire me hourly as a software consultant often want a business number. I've never bothered but this is in no small part because I haven't put the time in to get familiar with the benefits/drawbacks of doing so.

What are the benefits of a one-man-company incorporating, and based on the information I've provided, does it make sense for me?
