Business Formation – Selecting Business Structure Type

One of the most important parts of the business formation process is determining the type of business structure that is right for you. At the offices of Bubley & Bubley, P.A., we are experienced in navigating all of the most common business structures, and are confident in our ability to assist you.

  • Sole proprietorship. A sole proprietorship is a business that has a single owner. In this type of business structure, the income and liabilities of both the owner and the business are shared, meaning that you will file standard income tax from your business as part of your personal tax return, and will also need to pay the self-employment tax, and taxes for Social Security and Medicare.
  • Partnerships, on the other hand, refer to businesses where two or more persons are responsible for the business and share in the profits and losses of the business. In addition to understanding financial and tax responsibilities, partnerships also require an agreement between partners about how decisions will be made, disputes will be resolved, etc.
  • Corporations are the most complex types of businesses, and involve the exchange of money or property by shareholders in return for capital stock in the corporation.
  • S corporation. The biggest difference between a corporation and an S corporation is that in regards to the latter, shareholders report income and losses on their personal tax returns.
  • Limited Liability Company (LLC). Finally, a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is one in which business owners are protected from personal liability, and therefore cannot be pursued by creditors looking to collect on a business’ debts.
