Find Out What Business Structure is Best for You
Each business structure has distinct attributes, benefits, restrictions, and tax implications. Don't worry! We'll walk you through each, so it's clear which business type best suits your needs.
How to Choose the Best Business Structure for Your Company
Determining which business structure is right for you ultimately comes down to your business needs and future plans. Keep in mind that many small businesses start as an LLC, and then incorporate once growth is substantial enough to leverage the advantages of a corporation.
Doing business as a sole proprietorship doesn't protect your personal assets, while registering as an LLC or corporation does. Corporations offer growth opportunities above what an LLC offers. You can view those differences here. Compliance becomes more complex when you're a corporation, but we're here to help you with what you need.

business structure for you.
