One of the first decisions every entrepreneur must make when starting a business is which organization type best suits the goals and function of the business. Whether you wish to operate for profit or not for profit, as a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or any permutation of these entities, making the best strategic decision for your venture requires a clear understanding of the pros and cons of each structure. The way in which your business is organized affects, among other things, how you and your business are taxed, the extent of your personal liability for the debts your business, and how the entity can be controlled.
