What Type of Business Structure Should I Choose – Corporation or Partnership?
When it comes to structuring a business, there are numerous options to consider, and ultimately, the right choice will hinge on a variety of factors, including your specific goals, your tolerance for risk, and your plans for future growth. For instance, forming a corporation can be a smart move as it offers liability protection for shareholders, thereby safeguarding personal assets in the event of legal action against the company. On the other hand, general partnerships present a different scenario; they come with greater personal risk because each partner is jointly responsible for the actions and financial obligations of the other partners—this means that if one partner faces debt or legal issues, everyone involved may be impacted.
Alternatively, limited partnerships present a mixed approach, providing some degree of protection for certain partners, but they do require that at least one partner remains personally liable for the partnership's debts and responsibilities. This can create a unique dynamic within the partnership, as the level of personal risk varies among its members. Therefore, before you make a commitment to a specific business structure, it’s essential to fully understand how each option can influence your business operations, potential liabilities, and overall strategy. Robert D. Roseman offers invaluable guidance to help you navigate these complexities, ensuring you select the structure that not only aligns with your current needs but also supports your vision for long-term success and sustainability in the marketplace.
Are There Any Other Structural Options for My Business?
Many smaller startups choose to form a limited liability company (LLC). This structure offers liability protection similar to a corporation, while allowing flexibility in how profits are distributed. LLCs also benefit from pass-through taxation, meaning profits are taxed at the individual level rather than at corporate rates.
Robert D. Roseman works with business owners to evaluate their goals and help determine whether an LLC—or another structure—is the right fit.
