Spotlight On: Choosing a Business Entity Type

One of the earliest steps in starting a business is choosing your business entity type. Business entity type, also called legal entity type or business structure, is the form chosen by one or more individuals to organize and conduct a business under state law. Entity type affects the legal liability of the company and its owners and how the business is taxed.

There are many different types of business entities that vary by state. However, the most widely used are sole proprietorship, limited liability company, general partnership, limited partnership, and corporation. Sole proprietorships generally require no state registration and are the default classification for a single-owner business. For this reason, approximately 70-80% of businesses in the US start as sole proprietorships. A general partnership is the default classification for a business with two or more owners. Businesses may instead choose to register with their state and organize as a limited liability company (“LLC”), limited partnership, or corporation. An LLC is helpful if they want to limit the personal liability of the business owners for business debts.

There are more complex business entity type selections and considerations. For example, a business may register as an LLC with its state but elect to be treated as a partnership (if two or more members), a C corporation, or an S corporation for income tax purposes. Careful consideration must be made before selecting one’s business entity type. Moreover, the state’s registration requirements should be carefully followed.
