Types of Business Entities
The main types of business entities are sole proprietorship,partnership, limited liability company (LLC), and corporation. Each has different implications for ownership, liability, and taxation. A sole proprietorship is owned by one person who has unlimited personal liability, while a partnership involves two or more owners with shared liability. An LLC provides liability protection and offers operational and tax flexibility. A corporation is a separate legal entity with its own liability protections, and can be structured as an S Corporation or a C Corporation.
Sole Proprietorship
Ownership: A single owner.
Liability: The owner has unlimited personal liability for business debts.
Taxes: Business income is reported on the owner's personal tax return.
Partnership
Ownership: Two or more people who share profits and losses.
Liability: Partners are typically personally liable for business debts, though this can vary (e.g., limited partnership).
Taxes: Profits and losses pass through to the partners' individual tax returns.
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
Ownership: One or more owners (members).
Liability: Owners have limited personal liability for business debts.
Taxes: Can choose to be taxed as a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation.
Corporation
Ownership: Owned by shareholders.
Liability: A separate legal entity, so owners are not personally liable for business debts.
Taxes: C Corporation: Taxed separately from its owners, leading to potential double taxation, which implies that the corporation files its taxes separately from its directors and shareholders.
S Corporation: Allows profits and losses to be passed through to owners' personal income without being subject to corporate tax rates, while still providing limited liability.
