Choosing the right legal entity for your small business is one of the first and most important decisions you’ll make.

Here are common options:

Sole Proprietorship
Easiest to start, but offers no legal protection for your personal assets.

LLC (Limited Liability Company)
Provides liability protection and tax flexibility. Ideal for many small businesses.

S-Corp
Allows business income to pass through to your personal return — often saving on self-employment tax.

C-Corp
Best for companies planning to raise venture capital or issue stock. Higher regulatory requirements.

Which one is right for you?
It depends on your goals, liability risk, and tax situation. That’s why working with a CPA during registration is key.
