Business Formation: Which Type of Business Is Right for Your Company
The decision regarding which type of business entity to form — partnership, corporation, LLC, S Corp, C Corp, LLP — should only be made after considering a number of factors, including:
- Business goals
- The personal financial risks owners are comfortable taking
- The owners' management style and degree of control they wish to retain over the business
- Tax implications of the different business entities
- Insurance implications
Our business attorneys will explain the different types of company structures, the pros and cons of each form of business, and why incorporation may or may not be in your best interest.
