Choosing The Right Business Entity
This crucial step will affect many aspects of your business’s operation, financing and governance.Choosing the right entity — whether an S or C corporation, limited liability company, partnership or proprietorship — involves complex considerations. How do you want equity interests to be allocated between the founders, investors and employees? Which makes the most sense from a tax perspective? Which will place your business in the best position for future growth and success?
We will explain the pros and cons of these choices to help you make an informed decision.
