Understanding Business Startups
Once the decision is made to start a business, the business owner should choose a name for the business and decide on the best corporate form. The type of business that an individual or individuals wish to create often dictates the form of business entity created.
The decision between a corporation, limited liability company, partnership and sole proprietorship should be based on an analysis and comparison of:
- Liability exposure
- Tax consequences
- The number of owners involved
- Future expansion plans
This decision is very fact-specific and should be made with the assistance of a certified public accountant (CPA) and attorney from the outset. Obtaining competent, professional assistance early in the business formation process will allow the owners to make informed choices and ensure proper guidance regarding compliance with applicable laws.
