• Partnership: Want to start a business with partners? There are two main types: general partnership and limited partnership. Each has its own implications regarding liability and decision-making authority.
• Limited Liability Company (LLC): An LLC combines the liability protection of a corporation with the flexibility and tax benefits of a partnership. It offers personal asset protection, fewer formalities, and pass-through taxation.
• Corporation: A corporation is a separate legal entity from its owners. It provides limited liability protection to shareholders, allows for raising capital through the sale of stock, and offers potential tax advantages.
