Explore the Right Business Entity for Your Needs
The right corporate structure ensures tax efficiency and protects your business and personal assets from creditors. Our experts help you find the perfect fit for your goals and industry.
- Sole Proprietorship: A sole proprietorship is an unincorporated business owned by one person. If you are the sole member of a domestic limited liability company (LLC) and elect to treat the LLC as a corporation, you are not a sole proprietor.
- Partnership: A partnership is a relationship between two or more people to conduct trade or business. Each partner contributes money, property, labor, or skill, and shares in the profits and losses of the business.
- Corporation: In a corporation, prospective shareholders exchange money or property for the corporation's capital stock. A corporation is a separate tax-paying entity and can take special deductions. It experiences double taxation: Profits are taxed at the corporate level and again as dividends to shareholders. Shareholders cannot deduct corporate losses.
- S Corporation: An S corporation elects to pass corporate income, losses, deductions, and credits through to its shareholders for federal tax purposes. This allows S corporations to avoid double taxation. Shareholders report income and losses on their personal tax returns and are taxed at individual rates.
- LLC (Limited Liability Company): An LLC is a business structure allowed by state statute. Owners, called members, can include individuals, corporations, other LLCs, and foreign entities. Most states permit single-member LLCs. However, certain businesses, like banks and insurance companies, generally cannot be LLCs. LLCs must comply with state and federal regulations.
What can Happen When you Choose the Wrong Business Structure?
- Without proper structuring, your personal assets could be at risk if the business incurs debt or legal issues.
- The wrong entity can result in higher taxes and missed opportunities for tax benefits.
- Inadequate structuring can limit your ability to attract investors or secure financing.
- The wrong business structure can lead to complex management issues and hinder business growth.
