For-Profit Structures
There are five types of for-profit business structures recognized by the IRS:
- Limited Liability Company (LLC)
- Sole Proprietorship
- S Corporation
- Corporation
- Partnership
Each of these structures has unique benefits, so it is important to consider each of them as you determine which is best for your business.
Not For Profit Structure
If you are forming your business as a charitable organization or foundation, as part of a faith-based organization, or other entity whose purpose is not to generate profit, there is a structure specifically for you, as well:
- Nonprofit Corporation
Though this business model can be tax-exempt, it is still governed by codes that you need to know.
