Choosing the Right Business Structure
Starting a new business? The first step is choosing the right business structure to protect yourself from personal liability. Each structure has unique benefits, such as liability protection, tax implications, and management flexibility.
- Limited Liability Company (LLC) – Provides liability protection with pass-through taxation. Ideal for small businesses and startups
- Corporation (C-Corp & S-Corp) – Offers strong legal protections and tax advantages, suitable for businesses seeking outside investors.
- Partnerships (General & Limited) – Ideal for businesses with multiple owners sharing responsibilities.
- Non-Profit Organizations (501(c)(3)) – Structured for charitable, religious, or educational purposes with tax-exempt benefits.
