Entity Formation

For entrepreneurs not familiar with the legal entity structure, forming a business can be a burdensome process. Each type of structure has its own benefits and considerations that are affected by the business’ size, the number of owners and employees, the industry, and other variables. Choosing the correct business structure is important because it will determine the personal liability of the founders, how taxes are paid, and other important details.

The main business legal structures are:

• Sole Proprietorship
• LLC (Limited Liability Company)
• Incorporation (S-Corp, C-Corp)
• Nonprofit Organization
• General Partnership
• LLP (Limited Liability Partnership)
• LP (Limited Partnership)
