Description

As businesses grow, owners find themselves wondering if they should upgrade their legal structure to something more sophisticated, such as a limited liability company or a corporation. The question is, "Which one?" The answer isn't always clear -- but because your choice will affect the legal and tax status of your business, it's the most important question you'll answer. LLC or Corporation? will help you make the right choice with plain-English explanations of: • the basics of business entities • how each business entity protects you from personal liability • profits, losses and tax treatment • converting from one type of business entity to another • what to do if you conduct business out of state Making the right choice will affect your bottom line in many ways -- from what you pay for taxes, to your ability to seek money from investors. The book also provides conversion and formation scenarios that provide a real-world look at all the options available to you. This book is not really just for those starting a business. It's actually aimed at anyone already in business who wants to determine if they should convert—for example—from a partnership to an LLC or from a sole proprietorship to a corporation.
