What are common types of business structures?

One of the first steps involves deciding how you want to incorporate your business. Some of the most common options include:

  • Corporation - Business which is separate and independent of the people who founded the company. As a result, the business founders and owners cannot be held personally liable for any debts incurred by the corporation.
  • Sole proprietorship - One-person business not registered with the state.
  • Partnership - Business owned by two or more people not registered with the state.
  • Limited partnership - Businesses often created by one person who solicits money from investors.
  • Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) - Similar to business partnerships, except the person who establishes an LLC is not personally liable and cannot be personally sued by investors.
  • Non-profit organization - Organizations generally not subject to state and federal taxes due to their charitable work.

We can help you decide which business structure works best for your business venture. Once you decide, we will then work with you and help you form your unique businesses.
