Business Structure Options:
Sole Proprietorship - one owner with no segregation between business and personal liability
Partnership - two or more people with ownership in the company
Corporation - business is a separate legal entity from the owner, 3 types: S Corp, C Corp, or LLC
The most popular business structure is the corporation. There can be liability advantages but the main appeal is the prestige and credibility it seems to bring in the market place. Regardless, the business structure you choose has to make sense for your situation. Your accountant will be able to go through this with you.
Your accountant will analyze the business structures from both an operational and tax perspective. The tax laws are so complex and confusing that you really need to have an expert in that area provide you with guidance and direction. Do not cut corners here. Hire the best accountant or attorney you can.
The Bottom Line on Business Structure
The business structure you choose is a huge decision that affects both your personal finances and your business operations for years to come. Don't mess around and don't be cheap. When it comes to deciding which business structure you should use, you need to get professional advice. Consult an accountant or attorney who specializes in small business finance and tax laws. The money invested now will save a lot of frustration later.
