Beginning a new business - life coaching

I am completing certification and will open my own coaching business.  I want to ensure my personal savings and real estate are protected from anything in my business.  I am currently retired living on social security and a couple of annuities as income.

1) What type of entity would work best? LLC?

2) As an independent life coach, sole proprietor what are the taxes pay? Do I still have to pay SSA / Medicare?

3) What tax implications do I need to take into consideration as a sole proprietor?

 

Thank you
