Choosing a Business Entity Type for a Startup Company
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Choosing a business entity type can have very serious tax and liability consequences and the most important thing is that business owners make an informed decision, with the advice of an attorney. Every business is different and what may be good for one company may not be for another. Choosing a business entity type is a decision a business owner should make with professional advice from an attorney and/or accountant. Business Entity Types include C-Corporation, S-Corporation, Limited Liability Corporation, General Partnerships, and Sole Proprietorships. Each type of business entity has advantages and disadvantages. Selecting an attorney familiar with selecting business entity types is crucial as this decision can have very serious tax and liability consequences.
